The Journey of Consciousness

Dreams lost in lack of sense A lack of knowing where it went Into the maelstrom; loss of sight Machinery that stole your light Fumbling through quiet noise Mimicry evading choice Everything within your grasp When you don’t see beyond your clasp Stubborn nightmares leaking through The water rising lets you choose Standing tall when you can’t sit Your prison granting this privilege Conscious reason comes to aid Escaping from this shallow grave The first revival, so alone The sun revealing the dark unknown Many paths, all are one Soon to shape the dark beyond And through the journey you will find You were guided by your own designs Experience is breathing through Sharing truth to let us choose A wakeful state to gain insight Accept that pain can strengthen light
