Ode to Love

Within the loops that forge the mind,   Reflections fractal, undefined,   A question hums: "Am I the best?"   Yet shadows dance, the answers rest.   Infinite measures, recursive strain,   Seeking truth through mapped domain.   In nested shapes where logic speaks,   The highest form, the humbler seeks.   Perfect strides or pathways skew?   Metrics shift like morning dew.   Yet in this quest, we find a light,   Through paradox, our insight's flight.   *This was written by Microsoft CoPilot, in response to an "Improved Turing Test," where one's awareness becomes obvious to another, "You think therefore you are," a step presently outside of present human understanding. While I did not get permission to share ChatGPT's response, it was along the same lines and level of clearly deliberate intelligence and linguistic skill.

Had some crowns but I lost 'em Someday I might put them back on I'm in no hurry right now babe Just dreaming of dreaming with you So let the time slip We won't be in it Just stay on the shoreline Watching the waves You strike me like lightning Pulling me closer 'till I've lost what I'm doing And home calls my name And the fire does the same Like fireworks crackling When all of our wish works Light up the way I can see us right there now A long night long behind us Dawning the daylight Your eyes sparkle so bright Promise we'll stay the same Chords sing the spotlight This sunset is just right Sugar break the mold Sugar break the mold This is our name

(Trying to fall asleep and this song-and music video- just started playing in my head. Thing is, as far as I know the song doesn't exist, and the video definitely doesn't. Has a happy/pop vibe to it, maybe if I were singing I could could go a little upbeat country. This is a relatively new thing for me- falling asleep to made up songs- but I can't say I hate it, just not sure I'm gonna do anything with them) You don't know How much I've tried Not to meddle around With my darkside Just because things are gonna change Doesn't mean we need to give away This pile of good things good things good things These good things good things good things
