Quote -- "life is a perpetual yesterday for us"--Alice Sebold On nature's trail, a winter's sunlit stroll, Leafless sentinels, tall trees stand with grace, Aging growth an emblem of timeless scroll, Or nature's mind, a neural network's trace? Little birds dance upon the branches high, Where were they in the rain of yesterday? Blue sky above, sun's warm and cozy sigh, The Clouds and leaves, where did they fade away? Synced with the nature, my brain's network vast, Life, a puzzle, memories intertwined, A mystery to solve, the clues amassed, In the neural network, answers we find. Youth's fleeting gaze, where did it disappear? Time, relentless, no pause, no restful mile, Lovers came up, departed swift and clear, In perpetuity, this network's guile.

Your poem was thought provoking with the questions you asked in the 2d verse. I love your take on perpetuity...that's creative and your words in the last verse are wise. Well done, Jay. I liked it! Have a great evening, Sara
