Brain-Storm

I thought about thinking, pure meta-cognition Reflective, reflection, creative ignition So, breaking the lock, I slip into the engine Subversive, cerebral, divine intervention I arrive not in light but perpetual pain I suppose this psychosis I chose is the same As the beast in the mirror, mirror image of me That I see softly sway from a branch on a tree.

For me, your final two lines connect human kind with animal world meshed with a mirror of self. Now if we'd all just swing softly from branch to branch instead of our propensity to claw + wield big sticks. Another though provoking write. I hope that you are free from "perpetual pain." Regards always, Brian

thank you, again, for the valued insights - i suppose, pain, like pleasure are two interwining spectrums that one tends to vacillate between, sometimes beyond one's control -writing helps to bring them into synchronicity, sometimes - so i guess we keep writing, if but to taste both!

Insightful, yet fun and frivolous Mat. I enjoyed reading it thrice. :)

A well written poem Mat that is very reflective. Flows well with great rhyming. The last two lines, in particular, are very profound. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you. :):)
