A Cosmic Shore

We are on but a cosmic shore

Of unprecedented oceans

Of bright suns evermore

Slowly pulling me in-

-

I have waded

I have swam

I sat on the sand

Staring at horizons

-

Cosmic Shore poem -

The invisible sun

Lost in a possibility

Of some cosmic journey

Beckoning ceaselessly

-

I had no time to build a ship

No time to prepare for this

So I lay on my back in waves

Let the tide carry me away

-

Cosmic Shore - poem by BW Derge

The dark ocean water

Pulls me deeper in-

Never escape the undertow

Like a God I’ll never know-

-

Stuck on beaches of delusion

Dreaming of the possibility

Waiting for minds to breach

The waves of holy oceans

-

The Waves of Holy Oceans - Cosmic Shore Poem

Pull me deeper in

I don’t know where

These waves will take me

I drift forever alone-

-

In a dead man’s float

Far away from Oceanside

Freedom through restriction

As new worlds soon begin-

-

Forever I drift-

Further farther away

Toward truth or nothing

Breach the ocean waves
