Earl Schumacker Poet Quatrain

Universe Unwinding

Universe Unwinding 

Wonder beyond 
Glide through clouds of doubt
Take to the clear rising at the edge
Evident as the light of day takes you down

Explode there
Merge first…. yellow gold red beams with blue
Fold on the mighty winds of distant lost commands
Cosmic tumbles to where the universe might go

Draw away from temptations false steps in space 
To all Moons and suns seen
There, the hole to the void looks through
Looks back at you

2 Mirrors face to face shine on themselves
In reflective endlessness in the dark
Making “nothing” no more or less their home
Avoid them if they shatter

Take flight on matter
Up front to the ever outward ends of time
Energy showers on in distant fractured lights 
Becoming once again no more

Charlotte Puddifoot April 25, 2014 at 5:42 PM really a very good piece here, placed just outside of 3rd, I would've liked to see a little more colour and 'two' instead of '2'! I know, I'm picky lol nevertheless, the sort of modernistic poetry I like to read, very interesting and profound, love that bit of rhyme thrown in there "avoid them if they shatter/take flight on matter" - congrats on your win in my contest :) Earl Schumacker April 25, 2014 at 8:48 PM Hi Charlotte, Thank you for your consideration of my poem. I'm glade that you enjoyed it and deeply appreciate your honest comments. Regards, Earl
