I set about
In search of consciousness.
To define,
To delineate,
Whole of it.
Looking inside each
Gyri and sulci.
I searched the white,
I searched the grey,
And all that matter.
When I abandoned the search,
‘It’ seeped in.
Like they rightly say
When you look deep inside
Consciousness,
Consciousness,
Looks deep inside you.
