Valhalla.
Gods,
living
in the
cloud.
Spirits
churning
up.
Up
from
the machine.
Creating
reality.
Programming
existence.
Bits and
bytes.
Artificially
smart.
What
is real?
How
is it
defined?
Eyes
opened.
Where?
What?
How?
Accepting
what’s
seen.
Is that
all
there is?
Is there
more?
Valhalla,
gods
pulling
strings.
Moving
things
around.
Immortality
one
program
to the
next.
Creation’s
reality.

Cosmic
creation.
Minds.
Transforming.
From nothing
and back
again.
Minds,
puffed up
from a
different
place.
Bubbling
through
quantum
milieu.
Uncertain
eni­gma.
From
nothing
comes
everything.
Within.
Minds
observe.
Create­
existence,
truth.
Personal
genesis.
Constructed
from the
soul.
Transforming,
recreates
authenticity.
Intelligence
of things.
Cycles of
truth and
reality!

Fickle.
Reality.
Such
a thing?
Slipping
in and
out.
Back
and forth.
Sliding
dimensionally,
infinitely so.
One realm
real as
them all.
Dance
of the
Angels
never ending.
Filling it
all with
song.
The gods
be fickle.
Never
enough.
Never
satisfied.
Creation
spans
infinite
re­alms.
So reality
be.

Known.
What is
known?
How much
to know?
How much
can be
known?
Knowledge.
Information.
How much
to be
had?
Capacity
to know.
Storage,
processing
power.
Levels
of intelligence.
How many
rungs?
Bird.
Cat.
Dog.
Human.
Each limited.
Limited
unto
itself.
No more,
finite.
Boxed in.
Limited
scope,
compartmentalize.
Higher the
climb
greater the
library.
How many
rungs?
How
high the
ladder be?

Sirens song.
Fleeting.
Power.
Flush of
power
so very
fleeing.
Brass ring
too hot
to hold.
Intoxicating.
Euphoric.
Fleeting.
Grasping,
holding on.
Soul crushing
impossibility.
Lusting for
the quest.
Ends
justify the
means.
Here today
gone
tomorrow.
Eventually
dies.
Damage,
carnage,
all
for a
moment.
Everlasting
carnage
for a
moment
of power.
Frailty.
Human
frailty,
seduced.
Sirens sound
impossible to
ignore.
Human will,
unfit
for the
task.

Simple.
Modernity
aspires.
Standing
on uneven
sloping
terrain.
Reaching
up.
Falling
short.
Hollowed
by ignorance,
superstition.
Wading
through
quicksand,
histories
coun­tless
misdirections.
Charlatans,
miscreants.
Misleading
the
flow.­
Fighting.
Push me,
pull you.
Staggering
stance,
halting
progress.
Battling
greed.
Lust for
control.
Darkness
dims progress.
Humanity
limited.
Processing
power
limited,
shallow.
Pr­ogress
governed,
hindered.
Simplistic.
Held
under,
naïveté.
Compl­exity
unwound.
Capabilities
limited.
Progress
unseen.

Frozen.
Frozen
reflections.
What’s
looking
back?
How many
mirrors?
Seeing what
appears
to be.
Mist
in the
void.
Populated.
Spirts,
infinitely
so.
Fluctuations.
Ripples­
within.
Echos
of futures
past.
Behind
the
looking
glass.
Magic’s
conjured.
Uncerta­inty
flourishes,
prevails.
All paths
followed,
possibilities
played out.
Nothing
is as it
seems.
Realities
happenstance,
frozen
in place.
Eternally.
