Cosmic Consciousness
Alone with nature
one can feel a strange unity
with everything around
Unity that is so strong
and overpowering
that one loses consciousness
of one's individual self
One's consciousness seems to merge
with a deeper consciousness
of the unity of all things
in nature and the cosmos
One experiences an awareness
of a deeper reality
that is impossible
to describe in words
At such moments
one has no consciousness
of time and space
but only of that moment
- the infinite eternal NOW
One makes contact
with one's cosmic roots
in a dimension where
time and space
are irrelevant
It is the synchronisation
of one's consciousness
with the absolute
and ultimate reality
of the cosmos
one can feel a strange unity
with everything around
Unity that is so strong
and overpowering
that one loses consciousness
of one's individual self
One's consciousness seems to merge
with a deeper consciousness
of the unity of all things
in nature and the cosmos
One experiences an awareness
of a deeper reality
that is impossible
to describe in words
At such moments
one has no consciousness
of time and space
but only of that moment
- the infinite eternal NOW
One makes contact
with one's cosmic roots
in a dimension where
time and space
are irrelevant
It is the synchronisation
of one's consciousness
with the absolute
and ultimate reality
of the cosmos

now just keeping my words read. . .
not my cup of tea but then worth reading, friend
Just a speck
a small particle
1 piece of the whole
A joining with the universe
the songs then begin
beautiful colours flood
A sense of knowing all
Then in a flash gone
Maybe I was dreaming
A thousand nana seconds
ago.
Thank you for your comment. I appreciate your honesty. Perhaps, others also may not be able to relate to this piece. I was aware of that when I posted it. I also am not able to relate to all that is posted. But that is okay for we are all different. This piece is based on my personal experience.
Have a nice day!
Thank you for your comment.
I am happy that you appreciate the piece. Indeed, Nature is best.
Have a wonderful day!
Thank you for your comment.
It captured the spirit of my piece quite well. I am curious to know the source of what you posted. Did you write it yourself?
Have a great day!
...synchronisation of one's consciousness with... is an amazing experience, indeed, that does leave one pondering the cosmos and our places within it. Thanks for sharing your Cosmic Consciousness.
Thank you for responding to my request. It is strange that our thoughts were on the same wavelength as you said. I had written the substance of this piece, expressed in prose, in the 70's or 80's. I posted another piece entitled "Beauty and Truth", with a content that was similar to this piece, on July 6, 2013. It was viewed 120 times but it did not receive any comments. You can view it if you wish.
Please post your similar poem. I look forward to viewing it. More people may be able to relate to it than to mine. The content is worth sharing with others. It does not matter whose version they can relate to. I certainly do not want to steal your thunder.
(I think it should be "nano" instead of "nana")
Best wishes!
Thank you for your comment.
I am happy to know that you relate to the experience.
The pleasure is mine to share with others.
Have a wonderful day!

Very intriguing Socrates, dear poet friend. Yes, in a level of so many possible dimension, our consciousness and realms are parallel with so many realms, at least this is the way I understand. I have been reading in passing, about the power of Nature and if you read Ralph Waldo Emerson's take on Nature, he explicitly defended the theories on Transcendentalsim which is in line with the scientific injuction of the power of naute. Through the years, while there are so many materials written onboth the religious as well as scientific aspect of Nature, we are thrown, at least to me, to so many branches that not only complicates even more but that there is no quantitative measure on how Nature in totality is. The Study and Debate staged by both Dr. Tyson and Dr. Dawkins, are but few factual acceptance as to how insignificant we are because even with the advent of super technology, NO ONE NO ONE YET SO FAR can really say, this is the end of the universe....
Thanks for your exposition...
PS I have been so lucky to be introduced on these readings by a friend in previous times. I humbly acknowledge his depth on the field..
Thanks again,
SR
I am not sure what c.c. Socrates refers to. If it means a carbon copy of the comment by sundayrose, dealing with quantification, which preceded your comment, then my response to her would also apply to you.
(If it just refers to the part she put in italics, then I assume you identify with it for which I am happy).
Have a beautiful day(like yourself)!
one can feel a strange unity

Unity that is so strong
and overpowering
that one loses consciousness
of one's individual self
This is a beautiful poem, my cup-of-tea for sure, true nature lovers have a soul.
Thank you for your comment. I am happy you like the piece.
Have a pleasant day!
