Sonnet 6: The Iridescent Recess

The final, phosphorescent 
water slows,
To weave a microscopic lace
of white,
A meditative riverbed that
flows
Beneath the omnipresent 
stars of night.
The tide returns to where it
first began,
To heal the jagged, deeply 
broken floor,
To wipe away the enormous 
life of men
And soften the crinkled
of the ocean.
It is a perpetual, primordial
design,
An everlasting victory over
death,
Traced softly by a entwining 
line.
The wave dissolves inside the
open sea,
A brief snapshot of pure
infinity.
