Perpetual Motion

The earth moves in mysterious
circles – unseen the hand
of rotation; as seas and their
content pushed by tides
both great and small, even on
the calmest day, true rest an
illusion within ripples – freedom a 
debatable subject, no ship
sailing beyond its shores – 

                           the mystic believing
each of us attached to a star: surely there are
enough for all...including those having perished
throughout the ages in the glare of light
and the shadows of dark...

little seems fixed as if permanent – yet
nothing passes without leaving behind
its echos – mine is poetry.....

A most enjoyed read, Joe. I especially like the last verse beginning with ...yet nothing...
