Stream of Consciousness

Navigating To Unknown Shores
* The voice of the sea gently whispers to meWith soft, salty whisps of the wavesDancing on a breeze with the sway of the treesunder the light of the moon, in its phaseTranquil fireflies' glow, on a shelf, in a jarAs it mimics a dim lit cigar Dusk settles into its evening array bringing day to its glorious endSmoke clouds linger, navigating dreams, unawareRedirecting destinations when searching for nowhereAs I begin reckoning the hues of myself Caressed under a canvas of endless star light Dancing somewhere on the horizon, chasing clouds out of sightWhile yesterday quietly bids me, come home

What has been going on with us?
I don't have the foggiest idea what has been going on with us Or then again why you have dismissed. Obviously you are allowed to do as you like,

Hope
In the midst of hunger, I pushed through the challenge. I was not meant to be there, it was for the rich, but I am. My apparels were worn out, my bare sole had almost taken over underneath my shoes. I had no penny to offer the cobbler. I just want to earn the teachers knowledge. He told me that if I do, I shall buy better shoes.

"You Are Not Alone"
In the silence of the night, when shadows roam, Know you're not alone, though far from home. In the whisper of the wind and the starry sky above,

Lost Sense of Wonder; And Connection
when did we lose grip of our sense of wonder in the world? was it when the signals to our modems and routers increased, when the pixels and bytes in our stations of play and communication increased?

Truth escaped
(This was my entry for the eclipse contest a few weeks back; because I screenshot the poem from Word, the resulting jpg didn't count as individual words and sadly didn't count. Concrete poetry is difficult to replicate on this platform although I think Vocal is working on a solution. However, concrete poetry is very hard to replicate through AI, and so I thought the shape in addition to the acrostic element would stand out as different. AI has been infesting many writing platforms, school assignments, and social media that it alarms me that some might use AI to create original pieces.)
