Dusting off the windowsill I marvel at the whirlwind A thousand constellations Have circled around my head. Randomly they curl, and make a sequin band Filling up the empty space, the void of vacant dreams. Revolving they will land Scattered wild and free Then settle into worlds Too small to ever see __________________________________ 8/15/15 For:Randomling Contest: Sponsored by Mary Oliver Rotman Resubmitted to Contest:225 Sponsor: Brian Strand

Carrie, what wonderful imagery in your poem, and so much to think about in so few words. Very powerful...reminds me of a Sonnet I wrote with the last lines..."What great dimension of the vast beyond...Makes earth a microscopic vagabond?" Congratulations on your excellent win! 7+Fav, Hugs, Sandra
