Consciousness Ends, At The Edge Of The Universe

Consciousness, a fragile spark—
Flickers bright—then fades to dark.
The mind, a house of airy rooms,
Echoes silent in its tombs.

No longer does the heart attend
The thoughts that flutter—break, then bend.
The pulse, the nerve, the waking eye,
All bow before the final sigh.

No ghost of thought—no lingering dream,
No whisper floats upon the stream.
The brain, the throne, dissolves to dust,
And all the self returns to rust.

Yet in the hush—perhaps—remains
The fleeting warmth of earthly chains.
A life well-loved—a fleeting sun—
Extinguished—yet it was begun.

The end is quiet—nothing more,
A closed and softly shut sealed door.

The Universe Retains All the Knowledge of Every Civilization That Ever Existed

In the black throat of space, words spiral,
Charred syllables drifting like moths to no flame.
Every book, every prayer, every curse
Finds its way into the bone-dust of stars.

I dream of archives stitched into the dark,
Veins of memory pulsing through nebulae—
All our hands, bloody or tender,
Catalogued in the frost of dead moons,
And liquid methane.

The universe hums like a nuclear engine,
Its shelves sagging with unsaid apologies,
Maps drawn by trembling conquerors,
The taste of fruit extinct for a thousand years.

We vanish, but the sentences remain,
Tattooed in light, spinning past the last horizon,
A chorus of vanished throats still singing,
Though no ear will ever hear them again made whole.

Structure of the universe

The first creation was the cosmic egg
Hiranyagarbha, that’s shaped like our head
All souls caged within it, for freedom beg
Taking endless births, till they’re by love led

Polarities balanced, bliss enabled 
Life’s lessons learnt, we are from this egg hatched 
As divine light which cannot be labelled
We’re the twice born, our aura’s glow unmatched

God dwells in each life form, in the heart’s cave
When ego dies, we see Him in clear sight
But to reach Him, we must be pure and brave
Yearning to entwine, by day and by night

Yet this said, God remains unmanifest ~
Moment by moment, we are by Him blessed

Facing the universe

In front of the universe
 I was like a man with hallucinations,
 I gripped,

 I asked for the white man, 
The white man;
 When there was no white man standing there;

The universe is our body

Just as all our limbs are integrated,
though each organ has a different role,
know everything is interrelated,
each one inseparable from the whole,
which we too are, as the light we extol.
Meditating thus, that we are the all,
from cave of our heart, bursts forth a bliss squall.

The sun is our eye and heaven our head,
breath is the breeze and blood crystallised light,
wherein once we are by throb of love led,
radiance of our aura pristine white,
engulfs the universe with bliss delight.
Meditating thus, our form is transformed
and bastions of heaven, peacefully stormed.

Anchor of the universe

All that which is manifest
As also all that which is not 
All realms, all domains
The pivot, the heart with love thawed
The heart of Self, the heart of God

Stillness transcending the three states
Awareness equalising the gunas
Bilocation of consciousness 
That we be immanent and transcendent 
The immortal Self is bliss resplendent

How was the universe created

In God’s heart an intent arose,
which we may simply call His will,
to manifest the universe,
where agape love may overspill.

God conjured earth, water and fire 
which are present in every form
and once this knowing we acquire,
bastions of wisdom we can storm.

These three elements God combined,
to create all that’s manifest,
by force of His absolute mind,
each form being by His touch blessed.

There then are only these three things,
within all diverse forms beheld
and in each heart God Himself sings,
that soul may choose with Him to meld.

Reworded, we do not exist,
as a separate entity;
of highest truth, this is the gist ~
false is ego identity.

All we see is an appearance,
diverse spectrum of vibration,
wherein all that is, is entwined,
commingled with God’s creation.

Scripture read, differing we say,
air and space deserve inclusion;
we need them too in form of clay,
five entwined in perfect fusion.

The universe disappeared

Within our heart, a fierce fire raged,
a burning yearning to be free
from our mind, where we were caged,
that soul may dwell on earth carefree.

We knew there’s more to us than this,
striving being of no avail,
so in darkness of fear’s abyss,
we chose all thought forms to derail.

We shut mind’s door yet ego knocked,
begging our soul to be let in
but we were then in bliss mists docked,
deaf to mind’s cacophonous din.

We saw our Self as living light,
heart joyous in drunken delight.

You Ever Think About The Universe

How could the universe spawn from itself 
it must have been inside something else 
which would exist inside something itself 
something so infinite it’s trapped in itself 
time becomes irrelevant no start no end 
it’s all existence and also pretend 
thinking about it will drive you around the bend 
into the madness your mind will descend

Across the universe

Written: June 1st, 2025 for contest by Charles Messina
8 Syllables per line, checked by HMS.COM

           ***************

Flashing stars blush when caught—ignite
Through blue rock darts in sparkling light

"Across the universe"—swart crown
Pools of grief—waves of mirth are down

Scribes bid adieu in sapphire smoke
Spilling gold in a dying stroke

I doubt whether the sky still roused
The stars that once blazed and have doused

I am the universe

I am the universe


Before I was, did my "I" exist?
Atoms danced in cosmic streams,
Born in stars, billions of years past,
Nuclei forged in supernova blasts.
In my parents’ cells, DNA entwined.

A code of life, billions of years refined.
Then, in my mother’s womb, I formed,
Cells dividing, channeling a form
No thought, what’s to come unknown,
A spark of life, a parasite with cords,
I ceased to be that embryonic core,
Born to this Earth, a womb yet bigger,
A world of senses, mind’s new light,
Neurons firing, 'I' getting charged
Each stage evolves—new faculties unfold.

From single cells to tales retold.
Here, too, I’ll fade, my atoms free,
Recycled through Earth’s chemistry.
To a greater womb? Will I know,
Perhaps the stars,whence It all began,
Energy derived  from cosmic pool,
From Big Bang’s pulse to life’s last breath,
Forms transform, energy never dies.
Evolution Not just species, but life’s design,
Evolving through time’s endless line.
From unknown voids to known’s existence,

I am the universe, seeking its face.

The Universe

The universe is like a wooden door.
Too many lines and swirls. 
Can’t always be counted on. 
Can be sanded down.

The universe is like a jean jacket. 
That has patches. 
Everything does.
I did too.

The universe is like the floor. 
A hardwood floor. 
Which gets dusty.
I live in an abandoned house. 
It’s connected.
The door is wooden too.

The universe. 
Encompasses.
2005.
I had just fallen off my bike. 
Nothing much happened except a scrape.
Which healed. 
A wooden door could never heal itself. 

The universe.
It fell off its hinges. 
One day. 
And no one noticed.

In conversation with the universe

there's magic in the stars above
the sky showers us with love

we're not alone in this great expanse
someone's listening what's the chance

In the palm of the universe, only the mad ones dare to tread

In the palm of the universe, only the mad ones dare to tread,
Mad to live, to speak, to be saved from the relentless currents of time,
Craving everything at once, like a blazing sun at its zenith,
They never yawn, nor utter the mundane, but burn with the brilliance of fallen stars,
Like fabulous yellow roman candles bursting into webs among the stars,
Their light dances upon the walls of my soul, weaving dreams I can never touch,
While sandcastles rise in my wandering mind, without foundations to hold them.
Marble staircases and crystal chandeliers waltz in the echoes of forgotten dreams,
Through the labyrinth of unwritten memories, I roam, lost and searching,
Unaware of the source of this sweet poison that floods my senses,
Oh cruel universe, why do you show me only shadows of happiness?
Let me glimpse the light that dances, yet remains untouched by any hand,
In the merciless universe, why reveal mere shadows of joy,
When my prayer is an echo of unfulfillment, a melody without end,
That is lost in the infinity of the universe, untouched and unheard by anyone.

ONE WITH THE UNIVERSE

May we be blessed every day…
as through through the trials and tribulations of this world we traverse….
to understand peace will only come to us 
when we are all one with the universe
