We Are the Code That Interacts (new poem)

We Are the Code That Interacts

by Tim Kavi

sweeping and cleaning

lines edited

in Nature's dark surprise

destiny is made

along twisted roads

that go nowhere

where the apparent

is only freshly revealed

as we travel them

or by a singing note

of existence

or by a rampant ascension

or early demise

there is a place for humanity

for endings reveal themselves

as beginnings

selected, punctuated

in the balancing act

of synthesis

only to emerge

like waves

photons twisting in morphing

place, running a race

where light dances

on the walls of caves

again and again

sweet refrains

of who we are

becoming

what was imagined

in the lines of code

written at will

in the shadows

of song

we stand; 

lines in the code

emergent and conscious

naked and born

into the scripted world.
