! Entering The Forbidden Zone Poem by Linda Ori

What mysteries reside within the tangled net
Of electromagnetic impulses triggered by
The mechanism of thought and emotion?

Darkness intertwines the sparking synapses
Of visual, auditory, sensory stimulus,
Creating a multitude of mixed sensations -

A thought, a vision, a sound, a touch
Defines itself from the tangled mass
Exploding from within the fractured mind;

The depths of uncharted territory,
The source of dreams and reality,
Residence of the subconscious -

The forbidden zone of the soul.
