sentience
I think
I think
I know
I think
information reason
cognition intelligence
all this maps
and coheres substance
material and theory
its truth involves me
only as a statistic and
evidence then there is
the passion and beauty
of feeling emotions
that storm and serenity
of spirit sighing and
shouting weeping and
singing here is another
world within and amongst
us whose realities burst
our mortality and dust
creating and intimating
an eternity of joy and
belonging constructed
through love and born
into being by
relationship emotion
is the divine breaker
stirred by the heart of
love whose ride
catches us beyond reason
and eventually beyond
doubt
