Screen of Awareness

As we travel along the road of life,
     like scenes, perceptions and beliefs will change
Opinions manifest in distinct ways
     often a cause for thought to rearrange

We are subjected to the wiles of time
     all the ideas and discussions we've known
celebrated persons we've tried to mime
    concepts adapted from studies we're shown.

Yet, through it all, an awareness exists
     a screen we can feel but can never see
It is there, we're aware, while it resists
    our grasp of what this awareness might be.

Could it be we each have angels and guides
    to help us on our solitary way
Never a push, just a sense they confide
    a confidence when a life feels astray.    

It's one of the things remaining unknown
    extrasensory awareness mystique.
Perhaps it's our conscience with which we've grown,
     or a nudge to remind us we're unique.
