A full lifetime of pondering the implications of life and death, coming and going, has lead to a fair amount of reflection on the matter. Here I ponder the beginnings of corporeal life as relates to consciousness and its drive to manifest a corporeal existence.
Condensation
vapors ooze from a black unknown
shifting places changing form
currents swirl beyond sensation
and dreams are set adrift
wafting like scents through the void
poured from starless reaches
impulses consolidate in pools
growing creeping crawling flying
their primal manifestations
sprung in tandem from the abyss
color falls from the earth
moisture grows from the sky
soils sweep across the seas
waters erupt into mountains
fires spurred to consciousness
flashes clear a shapeless dust
and pink hued lumps of clay
soak the stormy reign of thought
stand and stumble struck with awe
blinded by visions of time and space
