Night Rolls Off The Cliff

Night Rolls Off The Cliff

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

Small and lost at sea in the thick of things in the greater scheme of things.

"
Night rolls off the cliff and down the mountain
Taking darkness with it in the tumble overload
Falls into dawn on waters traffic waves undone
Crashing on catastrophes of rocks not broken

Then pushed out to sea surprised
By tidal forces tsunami wise
Right into the middle of wide openings
Bermuda Triangulated up in mysteries
At oceans mouth rolled up and out
There is nothing else perceived

Caught up with a tiny thing in the thick of things
Bobbing on the surface of the blue
A message in a bottle stating;
“Stay home you fools.” “It's always hot outside.”
“Coconuts on barren islands are free
but not all they are cracked up to be”

When night rolls off the cliff
Down the mountain to be drowned
Dawn's traffic signals nothing's happening
Nothing missing in the mist of hours light
On barren desert islands lost at sea
Too small and not worth mentioning
In the larger scheme of things
