Melani Udaeta Poet Free verse

A Hard Reset

The ecosystem of cyberspace;
I am left wanting to latibulate
high atop this swaying tree;

Similar to a spider who’s web 
holds on to a bug for dear life;
Knowing it eventually has to eat;

An information storm capitulates 
to a swarm of winged freedom fighters;
After all, they are willing to kill the power;
Force a hard reset;

A darkening cloud above warns
of a dangerous infiltrating worm;
There is no recovery from this virus;

All the droplets of water wasted
within contaminated cumulonimbus;
Sustenance won’t be found there;

An information storm capitulates 
to a swarm of haloed freedom fighters;
After all, they are willing to kill the power;
Work through a hard reset.

Daniel Henry Rodgers May 21, 2024 at 8:14 AM Dear Melani, your poem beautifully captures the delicate balance of cyberspace and nature. Your amazing imagery of webs, storms, and freedom fighters creates a powerful and thought-provoking narrative. You show us of the fragility and resilience within our digital world. Truly stunning work! - Blessings, Daniel Melani Udaeta May 21, 2024 at 8:34 AM Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback. We are definitely on a high wire now with tech and I sometimes think to myself, we get too arrogant and nature will force a reset. Blessings. Again, thank you.
