A Poem

Science tells us
the Mind
is made of uncountable neurons and connections,
Little ganglia with electric potential, each one connected to others,
to many others, many many others,
each telling the others
on, off, yes, no, maybe…
pass it on
or not
saying that
to the other
uncountable neurons and connectors,
all fluorescing
in a silent dance.

One day I want
to move,
of my own free will,
unencumbered,
the smallest part of the smallest one of all those uncountable neurons and connectors of my mind
Because I know if I do
there will be an explosion of light, from that smallest part to all the other uncountable neurons and connectors,
fluorescing
in a silent dance
begun by me
by me
moving
the smallest part of the smallest one of all my uncountable neurons and connectors.


And if love 
causes the movement, the change,
or God
(same thing)
so much the better,
because then each of the others, each of the many many others, each of the others connected to the smallest part of the smallest one of all those uncountable neurons and connectors of my mind
and
all of them, all of the smallest parts all connected in all of my uncountable neurons and connectors of my mind,
all of them,
will be
fluorescing
in a
silent
dance
begun
by
God.
