On Flow (2024)

geometric shapes, sharp contrasting light,

have never seen fame like they have today

I smile as You bring Your country gold—

Flow, You’re radiant glow, sleek grin—

taking on corporations with quarter the budget,

a team with little more than a dream,

open-source software against mega-machines,

You’ve brought us a beautiful rarity.

I too dreamt of standing on an Oscar's stage,

in tears as they read my name from the page,

though I never believed this fantasy could be true,

but You’ve shown me that passion

can conquer where sequels haven’t.

I thank You for rekindled hope

held beside my heart, as we continue

to create what is truly called art.
