Substrate Mind Fails: Refuses To Burst Into Flame Poem by Terence George Craddock

Substrate Mind Fails: Refuses To Burst Into Flame

Rating: 5.0

perceiving consciousness
a flow form direction
a question of focus

candle is emitting light
a result of being heated
burning time magnifying glass
concentrating summer rays of light
on a point on a surface combustible
until it bursts into flame mutation
transformation flame is exothermic
thermal energy heat light creates

self-awareness less tension
a cloudy day a winter day less
focus substrate mind fails

refuses to burst into flame
