Thoughts

Last night before I slipped

Into the valley of sleep

I let my mind wander

Searching



Answers



In the darkness, I beheld

My loved ones

And those I know



All those who have crossed

Beyond

Palpable perceptions



And those still tangible



And I wondered

If there was one thing

I could tell



Them  



Whether

They live

Amongst clusters of neurons

Deep in my temporal cortex



Or move in corporeal forms

I can communicate



And before my

Hypothalamic clock

Switched off



I said



I love you



I love you all

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I spent yet another night on call in the hospital and thank GOD it was quiet for a change. In a pensive mood i lay down to sleep and then got up to pen my thoughts just before i dozed off again.

I've just began to read your poems but after about 5 read even the ones you suggested to me about his Eminence lol this latest one of yours "THOUGHTS" I find to be the best. I really enjoyed the medical fusing there. I'm such a medical imbecile so I am quite envious when others can do that sort of thing. Hats off you sir! You made me smile and impressed me in the same breath. Tell me. is there a medical term for that? laughs gloriously. sincerely Melissa Lundeen.

Melissa has critiqued this poem...so let me be silent...but it seems you wrote this after reading my YET ANOTHER RARE SPIRITUAL ENCOUNTER...as we were talking about it on the phone that very night or a night before...however...let me be silent.
