are there truths beyond
the mountains of science ?
I wonder how many believe
their consciousness lives
inside their head......what
about levitation, is quantum mechanics
science,
fiction ?....how about that

i have a ton of questions tonight
my mind is a pinball without a wizard
lighting all the lights, scoring
ungodly points, slammed by the flippers
in the dark, back
to the spectacle of near misses
I can ricochet with the best, I'm
a silver ball of energy
looking for a safe place to land
take me away from the brutal bells
and the whistling teapots that demand
attention
ten-hut !....oh confused one,
are you ready ? !
to solve the jigsaw
contestant number nine
damn !
no matter how clever i am
there always seems to be,
a missing piece
the quizzical hours before dawn
the quizzical hours before dawn
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
you may end up where you are heading

Re: the quizzical hours before dawn
the missing piece just over the horizon of consciousness
I am not aware of too many things
but I am aware of being unaware
just barely aware of that consciousness that lives in my body
that was a terrific poem, it struck home for me

Re: the quizzical hours before dawn
We really----deep inside must admit----we know nothing about the big questions----we hope, we postulate, hypotheticize, (whatever that verb is) and build a wall of faith-conviction around ourselves. Though they have some good tribal wisdom, I'm so down on traditional religions at the moment---they obfuscate rather than enlighten---they are the barracks of bullies----they pretend sweetness and light but muster troops and you are in bad luck if you don't keep step, do eyes right when they call and stand at attention.
I like your poem. Puts the questions out there. Describes the basic human conundrum.

thanx for the thoughtful comments...Einstein famously quipped," Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind "
Finding a spiritual place seems like a worthy endeavor, in other words acknowledging there is something bigger than yourself, and that could be any number of things....I worship nature for instance as a starting point....that grounds me ( no pun intended ).....
