Dot

I'm frozen,
temporarily anchored as if nailed
to a hint of my reflection --
unable to turn away
from those hot rays
of sunshine,
or into cool seas --
unable to converse
in sea gull speak --
a foreigner in their land
as stars slowly appear
from the closing darkness
and bow,
taking their turn
to mesmerize.

So small am I,
turning my sight downward
finding that simple stones
also become stars
spread out at my feet --
have I found infinity
as gulls screech
after being crowned
winged guards of tides
while, as a simple dot,
I wander away,
leaving footstep evidence
as a sign, proof,
of my visit
to the universe.

Edward Rochester Esq.
