Under every skin,
beneath the flesh,
between the bones,
somewhere deep inside
resides our consciousness.
Not sure who we are,
but somehow we tend to be
here all the same.
No reason,
or common element.
The multitude of variables
that could be creating
individuals,
doesn’t seem to correlate
with the variety.
There’s something else at play,
not the psyche,
not the brain.
Not the environment,
or genetics;
we can change them,
but if we look
a little deeper,
we see there is something more.
Haven’t you ever noticed,
that there are those around us
who seem to reach further;
a little more aware,
or enlightened?
Always quick to lead,
or guide the frightened.
Eyes that see
beyond the horizon.
It’s as if they become,
through some
transformation,
in touch with their
inner consciousness.
Tapping into that thing
that lives
between everything.
Deeper than the body,
something like energy,
but maybe,
matter in this reality.
Under the skin,
beneath the stars,
there are neurons firing
in concert
with the state of the universe.
