Pink Blancmange

Pink Blancmange

A skull full of pink blancmange

                Sizzling with electricity

                                Gushing with blood

Creating yellow, green, blue and orange

                Sight and eccentricity

                                A universe in flood.

All that is me is a pattern

                In a matrix of connections

                                A flow that’s never still

I’m the conductor with my baton

                Organising the inflexions

                                Into a picture that is real

Awareness, a mysterious product

                Of chemical soup

                                In circuits and flow

Out of which intelligence is plucked

                An ever-flowing loop

                                Enabling me to know.

Opher – 7.5.2023

Trying to capture the wonders of consciousness, awareness and life in words is impossible.

My words come back to mock me. All invented out of the electric soup of billions of years of evolution.

We are all walking mysteries to amaze ourselves. Our thoughts feeble yet extraordinary.

Be extraordinary and wonder with joy and awe. Invent my simplistic gods to explain these astounding phenomena – just smile.
