Descartes Reborn

If consciousness dies

is that all there is

or does some higher state

reimagine what was

When consciousness dies

will birth reoccur

no longer indentured

to time and its spurs

If consciousness dies

do rainbows of light

take over our essence

transcending our sight

When consciousness dies

is confusion bereft

as reference get buried

—and prescience resets
