A great man said,



“I am therefore I am”,



But to see what was in his eye's,



You have to understand and realise,



Is this you now or some kind of quondam,





Consciousness is a state of being,



What is in the mind is just a thought,



Beauty in the eye is what your seeing,



But in death there is only naught,





In a dream you dance between life and death,



Vivid images of impossibility that cascade,



Some arouse the heart others catch your breath,



'Tis the soul that is dismayed,





In life we touch upon the brightest days,



Our shadows stretch out in our past,



The future lays in a constant haze,



While our days count down to the last,





A sea of blackness to engulf the wakeful years,



Awaits us all in uncommunicativeness,



Faces fade like long lost tears,



The allotted time no more no less,





Our thoughts are prisoners of the flesh,



Communication is the only way out,



Images of ideas often refresh,



Unless fully understood bring doubt,





So being conscious is being alive I hear,



Information an endless stream,



The approaching blackness is what I fear,



The inception to all I dream.

You have articulated your thoughts very well.

I respect your beliefs however I personally find it damm depressing!

There's 2 sides to the 'coin' of life, without sadness you wouldn't be able to appreciate happiness, without darkness you'd not be able to appreciate sunshine, without sour you wouldn't be able to appreciate sweetness, my poetry isn't to everyone's taste but it's your choice if you want to digest it.

So very true
