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
