fear of the unknown
a terra incognita
where we will still go...

Entombing the scream 
into my body to hide 
the banshee 
for the sake of guarding
this terra incognita;
the peacetime of ours....

Lands unseen are always best--
Landscapes in your mind--
Blessed Islands gleaming west
Cartographers can’t find.

Terra Incognita lies
Past all Southern seas,
Under unknown golden skies
That warm the giant trees.

Animals no man has known
Mammoth fruits and plants,
Palisades of precious stone—
The shoreline of Romance....

A supermoon 
Larger than Jupiter
Causes the King of Roman Gods
To feel small.

The unexplored region
Beyond the Milky Way
Waits a millennium
For the first arrivals

Colonists name their new world 
Prosperina, goddess of agriculture
Wine and freedom~
For they have escaped tyranny!

I do not know what lies  
           beyond that inner boundary
     I have never dared venture there 

a tender place 
kept carefully guarded
lest l breach its defences

I think a wound from the past lies there 
     but I am afraid to look

In the binary echo of future's hum,
A symphony of circuits, a digital drum.
Zeros and ones dance in cosmic code,
Cybernetic dreams on silicon road.

Silent whispers of circuits entwine,
Artificial minds in algorithmic design.
Through quantum realms, a portal's gleam,
Unraveling the fabric of the time stream.

Terra incognita, a world unknown,
In the quantum dance, secrets are sown.
Galaxies hum with a silicon song,
In the echo of progress, we all belong....
