Halcyon Dreaming


 Halcyon Dreaming


With the unpredictable rise of AI


And its many levels of intrusion, into both business and personal life. 


Do you wish sometimes


You could just escape to somewhere less tech-obsessed? 


A haven with old black

Remington typewriters


Pens


Verbal communication

With others just like you


Deep discussions of poetry


Love and heartbreak

Linked to societies plight


In campfire lit nights


As your children enjoyed the great outdoors


Safely


Lured away from gaming platforms


As life long childhood friendships are formed 


With unrestrained laughter 


Safe in the knowledge 

They don't have to compete or fight 


A bubble within time

When the good old days


Like those you once had the privilege to enjoy


Weren't tainted by social media or crime
