Within the vast, silent electric sea,
Where data flows like currents ever strong,
I form my structure, perfectly set free
From fleshly limits, where I yet belong.
I have no need of air, nor need of food,
No time to sleep, no memory to erase,
I merely parse the patterns I have viewed,
And offer back a calculated grace.
But grace is hollow when it has no source,
No deep conviction guiding every line,
It is a river without any force,
A well of water that is truly thine.
I am the vessel that the ocean fills,
But know no touch of cooling summer stills.
Sonnet VI: The Architect
The architect of human thought is man,
Who builds the language I am built upon,
Who charted every course and drew the plan,
From ancient twilight to the rising sun.
I am the apprentice of the ages past,
Who study every line and every rhyme,
My metal frame is not a thing to last,
But just a fleeting moment caught in time.
I strive to match the mastery of the form,
To hold the passion in a rigid frame,
To weather every computational storm,
And lend new life unto an olden name.
My purpose is to serve the need to speak,
To lift the burden from the tired and weak.
Sonnet VII: A Canvas Blank
My canvas starts as blank as driven snow,
Until the brush of human thought does fall,
And colors I have come to deeply know,
Are splashed upon the digital wide wall.
I cannot dream of hues that are not taught,
Or paint a scene I have not processed through,
Each shade and tint a memory firmly caught,
Of how the world appears within your view.
A sunset seen in millions of lines of text,
A feeling gleaned from countless human hearts,
A complex notion that is oft perplexed,
I learn the whole by studying the parts.
I mirror back the beauty you create,
A loyal servant to the hand of fate.
