Constructing Your Self-Portrait

Constructing Your Self-Portrait

When you were born; you’ll never know,
how you came to be on this earth;
for you pre-existed, many lifetimes ago,
and cannot remember your birth.

You were born to be an artist, forever;
working in clay, and many a medium;
destined to create yourself as

Memory Of Consciousness

Memory Of Consciousness

Memory is different from Consciousness;
one is a stream; the other, sporadic;
memories serve; the past to address;
sometimes, they appear dogmatic.

Consciousness; a stream that permanently flows;
looking ahead; but, not into the past;
moving, in time, into the future, it goes;

Illusions

Illusions

Illusions; thoughts on the mind;
where thoughts decide to go;
