SEE SEA-CHANGE - BRAIN CIRCUITS TIME
Brain circuits time's reels, dreams maintain unseen memories. Their colour paints hope, sudden forms mental images, magic storehouse stream
Imprinted on the tablets of the brain,
wave mesh of integrated circuits seems
scene window holographic, time's reels gain
momentum as kaleidoscopic dreams
collide, divide, retelescope, maintain
creative tension in a way unseen,
distilled will's spilled 'til memories regain
impressions sundog rainbow keyed. Their beams
upon each mind pure primal colour rain
projecting picture postcard paints speaks reams.
In some mysterious manner hope, joy, pain,
emotions interact. There sudden gleams
an i nsight which wit knits, forms sea-change chain,
fantastic visions on Man’s mental screen.
synapses spray [l]inked images to drain
fresh seasoned thoughts from magic storehouse stream

Brain Circuits Time
Imprinted on the tablets of the brain,
a set of integrated circuits seems
a window holographic, time momentum again
rearranged, as kaleidoscopic dreams
collide and telescope, maintain
creative tension in a way unseen,
add columns to the memory and gain
a rainbow of experience. There beams
upon each mind a multi - coloured rain
where picture postcard images speak reams.
In some mysterious way hopes, joy and pain,
are set out, interact. There sudden gleams
an insight. Impulses together form a chain
and flash a vision on Man’s mental screen.
synapses [l]inked and energized to drain
fresh thoughts from out the magic storehouse stream.
Brain circuits time momentum dreams maintain unseen memory. There coloured images, hopes, sudden form mental energized magic storehouse stream.
