This has to be one of my most favorite written pieces. Where I understand it, many will not and I realize this… It is about my brain thoughts, when I was contemplating things after having a traumatic brain injury, now long ago. I had to rewrite it two times, each with better clarity for anyone else to understand it, but this is the original. If you do comprehend, good for you…….

 

Ganglions of Expression 2016-45

 

 

The essence of the human mind

 

Belies the kindred spirit

 

Forsooth, the mighty processes of thought,

 

Luxuriates in both feeling and self pity

 

Compassionate waves of high-pitched timbre

 

Echo midst the wandering mind

 

While rambling bits of neurotic bytes,

 

Show extemporaneous expressions of this compassion

 

All the while, chasing the mediocrity of commonness away

 

As the cavalcades of simplistic awareness reigns

 

The barrier to the threshold of understanding remains

 

While the answer to the universal question of life awaits

My mother would NOT have appreciated this piece, but she was a poet and liked them to rhyme and make complete sense and understanding to all. That is good, but not always the way it is in life, but I think she may have liked some of my works; which is also good………….
