Minds Talk To One Another Poem by Raj Arumugam

minds talk to one another,
whisper, holler across canyons, intuit and speak;
minds talk to one from past, present and from times in the future;
minds all talk and perceive
from different dimensions and borders disappear
and from the past a work of art comes or just a note
a painting that speaks to the one in the present and the future too
because the minds are one
there is talk, there is exchange and flow;
(but the body too, let it speak,
let bodies meet too, for that too is life; for that too is
part and parcel of what we got and otherwise is incomplete;
let all things coalesce):
and through parchments and scrolls and books or cyberspace;
just perhaps a polished tool
or just by a look
across tables
or a vibration from outer space
be it hate or anger or anxiety or love;
or a cowry shell, a stone in the odd place -
and the future too:
visions and scenarios
like Isaac Asimov may speak and so may Arthur C. Clarke;
and the future itself whispers too
see this is the vision, and one’s own intimations too
this the possibility and one sees then
and in seeing, time disappears and dimensions disappear, that all minds are as one
stretching in one complete art on canvas without
distinction and marks and without sections
but all perfect as one fluid flow;
minds talk to one another without dimensions, time and borders…
open minds invite possibilities; closed minds shut out others…
minds talk to one another,
whisper, holler across canyons, intuit and speak
