No Answers But Echoes
There are no answers,
just the outgoing tide
leaving a poem written
in the sand to be washed
away when the tide
comes in again.
I am lost in the detail,
the exquisite swirls
and rippled script
of its creation, I explore
each worm excavated hole
as if it hides
a secret truth within
when I know it doesn't.
Meaning is beyond
the cycles of the tides,
beyond my mind
and even this world -
it is written across
the shoreline of the infinite
echoing like a seashell
in the places I have
never been able
to fill.
