    Making Ripples

    2014

    I am streaming words into the void
    A pointless, poignant pulsing of mind
    Seeking nothing and finding it
    Among mute stars winking

    I am broadcasting signals into the noise
    A futile, fulfilling flashing of ideas
    Lighting caverns and fizzling out
    Among deaf bats clicking

    I am whispering secrets into the matrix
    A confounding, complex coding of heart
    Turning keyholes and tumbling locks
    Among blind alleys echoing

    I am dripping odes into the ocean
    A silly, sublime splashing of meaning
    Making ripples and merging back
    Among thought currents flowing
