Great expanse

Great expanse

Cosmic quantum entanglements, photons of thought
Spooky action at distant light
Being waves or mater or both
Strings woven into the fabric of time

Thoughts pour out of my fingers in waves
Pictures fly out of my mouth as matter
Strings strut across the bridge, vibrate
And fret no more
How long will these last?

When I cry my salty tears drip away
To the earth and evaporate to the sky
Then rain down, salt free, to complete a cycle

When I pee in the river is a part of me
Becoming one with oceans?
Or just filtered out at the treatment plant

As I think therefore I am
Am I more if I think more?

If someone repeats my thoughts
Am I immortal, am I a god?
Or just a part of the whole expanse of random thought

Is there quality to my thoughts, to any thought?
Does it have mass and charge or spin
Mental energy expended as matter explored

Each generation injects thoughts to the ether.
That spooky force that connects us
Past, present and future unified theory

Welcome Richard and i am intrigued by this first poem. So many thoughts in your inquisitive mind as to" why, where and how?" that many of us must ponder on.
It seems that we are just a very small link in the never ending circle of something we don't really understand, maybe the fascination is in the mystery.
