Cosmohydraulics

Some old idea echoes
Amid stars, rides
Nightfall down and 
Rapids into sea.
An illusive light
Of things to be (f)rollicks
In our destiny.

  3. I hear frollicks on the last line (beat after 'be,') and wonder at the 'k.' http://www.frollicks.com/#/home

    No, srsly, in the music of these words, I read the last couplet in a traditional way and like that my mind's ear slips on your time twister in such a fashion.

    1. Cheese crisps aside, I too like letter 'k' --it's one of those diving-board consonants that springs me into vowels. I'd use 'k' even oftener if I kould.

    1. Both frolics and rollicks rhyme with Cosmohydraulics. Had to do it.

  8. I love this beautiful poem, Geo...it is so deep and multi-layered.
    And how your picture gives depth to the words.
    Just perfect! :)

  9. It might sound daft, but for me, everything comes back to water. The idea of cosmic water is far more appealing than thermodynamics of vacuum. A pleasure, Sir.

    1. Thanks, Indigo! I too am happy to be a bag of mostly water and not a vacuum.
