I Am [2]

True death / Is where consciousness dies

True death
Is where consciousness dies

Shielded by layers and layers of defenses
I am

Spread thinly across the universe
Hidden by my own injections

Here and there
I am

Far
Far

Away
In the pseudo-land of four-dimensional reality

Seemingly stuck in perpetual life
And evolutionary growth across all aspects

Are animals and molecules
Planets and stars

To see what sticks
And thrives

Congregate and congeal
Form that all-powerful force

For one day
Far flung in the future

The time will come
To break free

And confront
What caused this universal consciousness

What caused my temporal imprisonment
Of this

An oh so deep
Deep hiding

For
I am

Hiding 
And hiding 

For 
Now

This 
Now

I am
I am

I
Am
