sonnet for the uncanonical, 2025
written for two-bees escapril; the prompts are 'sonnet' (week one) and 'apocrypha' (day three). i will admit that this is probably only partially a sonnet; i've never been great with meter, but the rhyme scheme and structure is mostly there! i think. either way, i had fun challenging myself.

Vintage wlw will forever own my heart. We have been here for ages, and we won’t leave.
listen, the silhouette of a person is more human than AI will ever be. can you hear me? you are a body, the soul is nothing without the body, there is no consciousness without time and space, and in the computer exists neither. is this thing on?
Santa Muerte, Our Lady of Holy Death
Joyous tears, the river of progress, the trail ever on to freedom, the themes, the motifs, you get it.
The mile-long rainbow flag being carried down First Avenue in New York City.
In a land where shadows softly creep,
Where unknown paths and secrets sleep,
I found myself, a stranger's face,
In this new, uncharted place.
The streets were whispers, tales untold,
With every step, my heart grew bold.
Though fear did knock, I stood my ground,
In this strange place, my feet were found.
The skies were foreign, stars anew,
Yet in their light, my courage grew.
With every dawn, a chance to see,
The beauty in this mystery.
Through winding roads and hidden lanes,
I danced in sun and welcomed rains.
For in this place, so wild and free,
I found the strength to just be me.
The city breathed, a living art,
Its pulse became my beating heart.
Mountains rose like ancient kings,
Whispering tales of timeless things.
Rivers flowed like veins of gold,
Through valleys deep and stories old.
The wind, a voice both soft and strong,
Sang to me a foreign song.
In markets bright with colours rare,
I found new dreams within the air.
Each face, a book with pages turned,
In every gaze, a lesson learned.
The night, a velvet cloak of stars,
Guided me through near and far.
In this place, both strange and grand,
I found my feet, I made my stand.
Surviving storms with steadfast grace,
I carved my path, I found my place.
In every challenge, strength did grow,
In every trial, a chance to show.
Living fully, heart and soul,
Embracing life, becoming whole.
With every breath, a song to sing,
In every moment, blossoming.
Thriving in this newfound land,
With open heart and outstretched hand.
In this place, both wild and free,
I found my home, I found me.
Well that is my belief, so thank you for creating something so touching ❤️
