we are before thought came

 

so what was going on, 

before thought became so popularized

in the format style, 

we create as experience?

what was awareness then composed of?

were we sensory dependent 

from the conceptual start?

were we at all fluid with presence 

before we defined 

separateness as identifiable?

how alien was the need 

for recognition to occur?

was there any connectivity to being life

before being the life 

that we apparently are?

what is/was the initial seed essence 

to propagate, 

as for the impetus for fear

as the registration of separate from

in the initial onset of fear defined?

did we create a forsaken existence 

out of mindfulness?

and now we are compelled 

to pursue retrieval

from within the perils 

of this false method personified?

to unlearn the learning process 

by witness, yet unclaimed 

and undeveloped in its source

other than self 

and the separateness it generates.

how can migration occur

with so much mental baggage 

defined as necessity,

to take that journey, 

into essence reclaimed?

sure, we have think in its vastness.

but thought pirates think 

in a nanosecond's time.

feelings search for the richness in thought

but long for the truth of think,

before it is captured 

into thought paradigm ways.

just think,

before language as method defines.

think without the audience 

of reception as self.

think before the tears of dreams 

have story to tell.

surely there is an ongoing,

even before the measurement of time 

plagiarizes the now, 

with moments of experience.

before we invented the lockstep account 

of sequencing,

as our way of knowing 

and therefore knowing about.

story-form is an addictive method 

to realize account.

story is audience perception, 

which is 

a complete displacement from being.

we made now 

so foreign in its presence.

and we are so removed 

from that awareness of being.

we dwell in the provocation of our being,

but not in the consciousness of that being.

we are there but not there 

by any means we use.

we are, 

but not consciously are.

we are shadow claiming light.

and yet we preoccupy, 

as that which creates shadow

and yet, claims otherwise . . .
