Existence

Existence

On the brink of existence 
Where consciousness meets thought
To scatter in matter 
All light that is caught 

As it breeds
To conceive 
On the cusp of a wave 

Time bleeds the pulse 
The propulsion to pave 

To attain 
In every spasm 
Every atom 
That seeds 

To breath out the knowledge 
That longs to be freed 

On the brink 
On the edge 
On the ledge of pure life 

Where dualities found 
Amidst the dark 
and the light

Good job Gwen. I really enjoyed it. I find many similarities with my style of writing on this topic. The words paint images that lead us to the origin of the universe and the primordial atom, space-time, light and darkness in convulsion while playing the first chords of the long symphony of existence...

Hello GWENDOLINE!!....this is such a powerful expression of your vision of the Birth of life into this reality.....I think VT12 said it well.....and like him...we all, who dare to ponder this subject matter, come to similar conclusions.....but I have to say that your 'poetic expression' of this is superb....it reads aloud with an elegance and inherent wisdom that sends a shiver down my spine!!.....BEAUTIFULLY crafted!!......ALL STARS!! & PINNED!!....as I read it through the second time i could see this as an expression of the "Big Bang" itself!!.....Bravo!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!......T xo  : )

Hey Gwen ..
