What is this mind of mine? <br />Like a flickering flame in wind, <br />fueled by occurrence and whim. <br />Desperately searching for signs... <br />of what? <br /> <br />Effortlessly extinguished <br />through probability and risk. <br /> <br />What is this consciousness? <br />Like the strings of a puppeteer, <br />driven by instincts and fear. <br />Roaming lands of loneliness… <br />to where? <br /> <br />Perpetually sparked <br />by science, philosophy, and art: <br />This is my mind.<br /><br />George Salis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-mind-of-mine-2/
