Consciousness

What’s behind consciousness?
We are hollow and bottomless
A wisp of a cloud holds us back
It isn’t so hard that it won’t crack

A sliver is all we can know
As long as the eyes remain aglow
Borrowing light from the sun
It bakes the dreams of everyone

The immensity can’t be digested
We’re lucky if a sample is tasted
Words are deliberately denied
Silence is the only guide

We are holding up the journey
Heedless and full of worry
Consciousness patiently waits
Till we cross the mind’s straits
