Soul-Are

Soul-are 

Is my soul conscious at this time?

No further question marks in asking
as the query is itself the answer
tentative and playful statement
of intent of letting go solutions
to a problem which is not

The conscious soul

There is an ‘is’ somewhere
out there in there and 
where they meet when 
is and when they not
No definition and it is
at the point and time
the fleeting flowing moment
ever changing change

‘My’ is longing and belonging
when the meaning wanders
me in fragments wholeness
wonderment and expectation
pondering what’s mine
possessions baggage lightness
entitlements and freedom’s safety
When I am and not am and both
and stand and fall proceed
my journey un-arrested

‘Soul’ my essence source
alone conjoined the Universe
en-lived en-storied 
told untold narration from within
without because of why
and how my circles spin
spiral radiate alive and morbid
mortal where the crossing 
exit point and destination
questions not what there if now
is after momentary permanent
impermanence for ever lasting
going gone beheld in truth

‘Conscious’ of the contradictions
compliments of contemplation
complementing opposites and syntheses
polar angles sides perspectives
hidden exposed below the surface
and above the tidal mark
of scion’s collaborated offspring
consciousness of consciousness
transcendental comprehension
and awareness of what can
can not be understood

‘At’ where at when at
is lost and found and lost again
no at without the it and as and I
attending context inconsistent
alterations wrapped in time
location in perceptions 

‘This’ that there is here
for now and when it is 
and gone just when the past
has changed from present
to the future this and 
present past and yet again
is what there is appraised
forgotten passed surpassed 
uncommented in meditation
upon reflection feeling thought

‘Time’ so much so little just enough
and left beyond the time of time
when time has come will go and stay 
forever when my consciousness
which was has gone
