Thought
What are thoughts, only neural connections,
transfer of impulse followed by conclusion?
A journey in time, a pause, life's reflections;
past reality lived or a rebirth of illusion?
A thought commences, continues to fruition,
potent, far reaching or a mere blip in time.
Frivolous, quixotic--clothed in erudition,
or nebulous, unfocused; naked yet sublime.
As ideas emerge and the many concur,
is thought then transformed to thing?
Reality created as life's images occur;
I think that I am and the universe a string.
Take away the thought, do skies turn gray;
oceans cease to ebb and rivers to flow?
If no thought exists, does the world go away;
stars above gone--no one left to know?
Is creation then a metamorphous of thought,
our being, in reality, mind made?
Particles arranged and true essence sought;
temporally formed--sadly destined to fade.

"Quark nuggets' though I have an idea as to
your meaning. Care to enlighten me?
in a mathematical sense. So if forever exists, when
and why did it come into being? Or does it have no
beginning, a concept that is beyond our intellectual
capabilities? Hell, even imagination comes up short
in such esoteric concepts.
I surmise myself to be awake. If I were dreaming,
I would be somewhere else. At least, vicariously
with no need to watch the boob tube. Everyone
creates their personal realities played out on the
sand mans stage. Though eventually, it is all blowing
sand anyway, not even traces remaining.
