a blanket warmly
covers me entirely
never let me go
the idea
to one day appear
in a digital sphere
as eager pioneers
searching for new frontiers
while we ponder the meaning of our existence
and what it means to be alive
if not to feel passion, to feel drive
if not to interact and to derive
even the smallest desire
a fire
for true human connection
i jump into the deep end
in the air suspending
never contending
to the tides that guide me
ever lightly
surrendering
until i shall find my safe ground
a hopeless sorrow
for a brighter tomorrow
on lost times borrowed
bright colours dripping
into the pond rippling
a wave of emotions
of sentiments drifting
carefully lifting
the veil of clouds up above
my eyes widely shut
i slowly see forming
the world through my eyes
untainted and nonconforming
as it should be
yesterday we wept
today we reflect
tomorrow, we fly
flourish, prosper, grow!
expand, progress, oh blossom!
— and don’t let it stop
fear, worry, regret
fade into calmness and let
me slide into bliss
lines set and defined
are nonconcurrent to time
so let’s start blurring
bearing weight from times passed
I arrive confidently on this present line
smiling hopefully, I go forward
and though my mind races
through these disastrous times and disformed spaces
to hope my heart paces
a time on loan, disintegrated
our once familiar spaces, deserted and distorted
the reality we inhabit, disrupted
