Impulse and Intuition
By Andrew Messner
July 9, 2018
Most animals
Are pure intuition
As they
Are not plagued
By the disease
Of rational thought.
The process of thinking
Inhibits our
Awareness
Of this dimension
And the dimension
Beyond
Our physical senses.
Before I write a poem
A burst of impulse
Comes from within me
And expands
To my skin
Powerfully and
Unstoppable--
The same impulse
That began the universe
With a bang.
The universe
Is within
All of us
And isn’t
Some abstract
Hypothetical theory;
It’s a force
To be reckoned with
Without
Thought.
The dis-ease
Of humanity
Is rooted
In thinking;
When we think
We disconnect
From the state
Of being.
Being
Is who we are
And not
Who we intend
To be;
We make up
False identities
To cope
With the ailments
That this world
Has created.
But the way you identify
With yourself
Isn’t real;
It’s a concept
That quickly dissolves
Once
You become aware.
Your awareness
Is your choice;
Your unawareness
Is your choice
As well.
