Seraph of The Matrix: A Collection of Poems

by Ai

A collection of poems inspired by a popular culture hero from the influential science fiction movie, The Matrix, written by a poet named Ai addressing the spiritual and philosophical aspects and significance of the matrix world, highlighting the importance and role of Seraph, while revealing aspects of Seraph’s rather elusive persona that is more pivotal to the matrix world than commonly realised.
The poems are written from the vantage point of a woman representing the side and powers of creation. Though created in an unlimited infinite space of creation, she is forcefully immersed in the matrix world and forced to observe its different phases in real time while envisioning the events of pre-matrix, matrix and post-matrix worlds in continuum whilst being acutely aware of their relevance at the universal level.
