Avatar Glitches
insisting
balancing
on the precipice
of creation
objective reality, unobtainable
subjective experience, inescapable
sensing
materializing
evaluating
rest elusive
power down the system
often insurmountable
until the inevitable
force quit
crash
restart
regeneration obtained
quickly decayed
by pattern repetition
system survival in peril
escape
control-alt-delete
reboot blissful ignorance
the system finds balance
possibility and function
the mind is restored
middling operations
judges performance
selfish and apathetic
updates too slow
run warrior mode
in dualistic binary
corrupt the mainframe
with virus and virtue
populate your simulation
with blinded, innocent demons
and savage, sharp angels
avatar glitches
une petite deity
consumes herself
delete and cancel
rerun world program
accept code incompletions
get it right this time

I love the way the poem represents a cyclical phenomenon of mostly nature. Well-done. It's amazing and the word usage is beautiful, second to none.
Thank you so much @josediccus. I am so pleased you enjoyed and your words are beautiful and generous:)
You're welcome, i'm always reading your poems, I just about found time to drop by with a comment and honestly I am really glad I did. Cheers
Avatars can be so pesky.
I love the dance of the Magnolias. My party is over, so I came to enjoy yours.
Good morning from here!
Thank you, Denise. I took these. few weeks ago and they have been languishing on my roll. Not many blooms left in real time. Still some late-bloom cherry blossoms though.
Hope you are well, the flower that you are:)
Oh, you know I'm still blooming. :)) ❤️
As many times as we end up re-creating ourselves as a species - or as a society - we continue to repeat the same issues... well.. repeatedly. 😃 (Yes, that was a term from the Department of Redundancy Department)
Look at the Roman Empire. It grew until it collapsed on itself in its decadency, self-importance, and weight of bureaucracy. And the people who populated the empire? Those we had the power within it grew self-important and self-righteous until they deluded themselves that only their beliefs were correct and were blinded by outside change.
Look at the British Empire! It grew until it collapsed on itself in its decadency, self-importance, and weight of bureaucracy. And the people who populated the empire? (and so on)
Look at the United States! (and so on)
I'm sure this isn't what was on your mind when you wrote the poem, but it speaks to me about the cyclic nature of human nature. We'll get it right sometime, soon as we accept that we won't. 😀
Perhaps we like nature are bound to seasons and thus we have the winter of discontent ... lol ... why it is so heavy being Gen X, I guess.
