Poem
____________________
Welcome,
To this AI Simulation of the world,
According to a child's eyes,
Guided by the stars who always listen,
To a place where realism slowly declines.
A place where physics
Is hailed as the devil,
Where lies dragons and vampires playing without any perils.
We can relax by reading a book
On the cotton candy bed,
Or see the live version
Of the heroics previously left unsaid.
But as the first light ray falls on me,
The photons in the breeze whisper gently
That don't you worry we can always wait,
For the night to come and fly us away.
With your eyes shut,
your heart can open wide.
Let's see the biggest radius,
You can get out of your smile.
The calming quarrelling
of the rivers you might hear,
Or feel the giggles wandering
Around in the air.
A sky so soft never was seen,
You might touch it by jumping
On a trampoline.
This is what life in a dream feels like,
No there's no wealth,
just a different design.
With built in wings,
the night can fly us away,
Through the stars not minding any cliche.
As we weave through
the threads of fantasy,
We can leave a trail to follow,
Whenever we feel like
running from reality
But as the first light ray falls on me,
The photons in the breeze whisper gently
That don't you worry we can always wait,
For the night to come and fly us away.
With your eyes shut,
your heart can open wide.
Let's see the biggest radius,
You can get out of your smile.
