Trepanation: To bore a hole in the skull
Letting the cosmic energy flow into your mind...
Blunt force reprogrammed
my intellect to accept discovery
A spiritual trephine,
awakening consciousness long dormant
Suddenly I wonder why I talk to myself
Like I am talking to someone else
Can't look at my own reflection
for extended periods:
Causes discomfort, causes shame...
Floating in space
Darkness surrounds me
Memories have gone blank
What could have caused this?
I woke up at 3 AM
Not knowing the damage done
Life's become surreal
Memories drift in and out
I read the note several times
It is yet to sink in
I must unravel myself
To undo this damage done
Tilt your head back and experience
An infinite journey
Into the stars
My travels have only just...
Only just begun!
Washed in the light of the universe
Ten thousand galaxies expand and contract
In reverie I watch them grow and change
Seemingly random, beautiful patterns emerge
Feel the energy envelop me...
We are just temporary,
though our essence lives on in energy
And so I breathe, I learn, I grow, I experience!
Knowing that meaning exists
Even in the absence of a creator
No fairy tale afterlife,
this seems so much better:
Part of the universe, traveling
