Cognition needs

Cognition needs

More than a spark

To power the cells

Even as a fierce flame burns

Jumping from one relay to the next

Switching direction

Creating patterns

Schematics containing

The building blocks of memory

The light will fade

Without awareness

A cradle of knowledge

Nurtured into existence

Individuation

Requires comprehension

Of otherness

An acceptance of connection

Whilst personality might

Be no more than

An accidental visitor

Giving hopeful tourists

A glimpse through a window

Into the home of a soul

Where the unquantifiable

Resides

And innocence

Still lies

Waiting

For all to see
