Cosmic Tides Samantha Carter
In between the fabrics of this life
where shores rise up and meet what never was
A resolution glides, resolved, along the shore
into the sun receding.
In setting far away from somewhere here
I see my life
in stars, a sprinkled blue all swirled and yet,
with nothing, save a song
so easily and with humility they
droop their burning arms
to leave the sky with faded spots where once
remained a dream untold;
And yet with quiet courage I plod on amidst
the jellies and their stining kisses --
so fragile, simply borne along the tide of time
with no direction, nor with any purpose but
To carress and kill those things which stab the
waters of their frame
And then move on.
Walking out to deeper water and with trepidation,
and with a lonely royal carpet up above,
The silence of the wide expanses and
their continuum of blue
that hints at secrets--
Up there, in that wide night time,
vast and chilled and stirred
by lonely breezes from the North
I drift in the consuming arms of Silence,
wondering if all those stars think
that they're alone.

"Very nice... makes me feel small and yet, in a good way, completely in awe of the universe. Your use of language gives the poem an overall feeling of quietness and solitude. Well done!" -- Sam Waters, Washington, D.C., USA.
