Perpetua Existentia

Blind to passing of time,
terminal temporal velocity.
Intermittent appearance in mind,
stroboscopic lighting stealth,
vision emblazoned in neurons,
neutrons,
electrical impulses connect.
Static between interstellar fingers,
forgotten moments later.
Electricity no memory,
memory is electric.
Close eyes to see,
believe future is happening.
Ripped apart by cosmic rays, 
very own building blocks,
play well together.
Clouds are not for rain.
Have yet been invented,
lungs do not breathe,
air does not exist.
Memory, from the future.

A fascinating piece Gary... short, clipped phrases together with the language they contain are most effective. '...memory, from the future.' Well done my friend! Best wishes, Keith

Thank you, as you are probably aware the particles and atoms which we are made from are as old as time itself, these are my thoughts on how my particles have existed and interacted with the universe, where have they been, what have they been, what have they seen? Thank you very much for your kind reply, as always, your friend, Gary?
