Quantum Lighthouse (new poem)

Quantum Lighthouse (new poem)
by Tim Kavi

folded origami

I jumped across 
the parsecs that stretched
for millions of kilometers 
across space and time
intersecting spectral lines
on a cosmic chess board

I walked like one of those ships
reeling towards my life
going by far too quickly now
there is in the shadows lurking
a fearful sight
baffling revelations of science

meeting myself in the cosmic night.

The Lighthouse (new poem)

by Tim Kavi

walking among the parsecs that stretched

for miles across the horizon

there was the resolute resounding

of a lighthouse calling me always 

back to home

whether choppy seas of wandering

crafts briefly lost in the foggy night

gathered hopes for their approach

to the shorey home's delight

away from the unsettling speech

of those sirens who called out

in the unconscious darkness of the sea

bidding all that sail a place to go to

in the twinkling starlight

a compass back to safe harbors

I walked like one of those ships

reeling towards my life

going by far too quickly now

there is in the shadows lurking

a fearful sight

meeting myself in the cosmic night.
