Watching Synapses

Flashes of light, inklings of the mind
Faces…diverse shapes
Moving through the cerebral cortex.
Entertaining…frightening, too.
Combining with great speed to form
Images…at times almost recognizable,
But too quickly passing to the next view.
Like an emotionless nightmare
Observed by an outsider…questioning.
Trying to make sense of the un-unified parts.
Then, the visions begin.
Like moving light rays 
Displayed in the depths of the mind.
… Thinking!

Does anyone else see shapes of light floating fast in the darkness when their eyes are closed? Just wondering! Big Smiles, They're fun to watch and sometimes turn into moving scenery. Yes, I've talked to a doctor about it. Not hallucinating...I'm awake! I often wondered if this is how psychics have their visions. Hum? Silly me.
