My mind explore the connections

between reality, memory, and imagination.

I constantly connect to the things i like and love.

And without a physical presence,

I cannot feel the other person, or

react to small movements

and expressions that i innately attuned to.

My mind explore the reality.

What is seen is not the truth,

What is heard is not truth,

Trust comes without hearing or seen.

Trust is not irrational or illusory,

It’s a biologically based part of human nature.

My mind explore the memories.

I remembered things that were spoken,

and how bad I felt when I heard such spoken words.

My quietness has a man in it, he is transparent

and he carries me quietly.

A reminder changes my brain.

The memory washes, rinses, and dries my brain.

The things i forget

becomes the property of my memories.

My mind explore imaginations.

I imagine if there is a dish to hold the sea,

A brazier to contain the sun,

A compass for the galaxy,

A voice to wake the dead.

All along, I did not run,

I have been walking.

I passed some tiny passages,

I had to crawl for long,

In order to reach the next phase of life.

I passed rusty metals, 

some were very delicate, and precise,

but were not big metals, they were just genuine.

My mind explore the connections

between reality, memory and imagination.
