My mind is glowing
I think I’ve worked out that which has been bugging me
That which has eluded me all this time
That which we all seek to understand
Or that which we all seek to control
Scoff, as you may
Leer as you will certainly do
As I transcend this world
Guided by not my spirit,
Not by my soul
There’s a sense of belonging
A sense that something – us perhaps – fits
No sense, no wonder, it is
That we should seek out this soul-mate
And find it firmly beyond our reach
Yet I see this yearning
This black hole of gravitation between us
But two polarised magnets
Attractive to each other
But driven away by some unseen force
The sensation fades
Over time, everything does,
All that is left, all that remains,
Is that sense of self, the awareness of what was
And what we thought we shared
