VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Slow Tide

Like the tireless wave crawling up its bank
Only to fall back into its own body,
Back and forth,
Surge and Release,
She rocked in her old rotting chair,
A baby at her breast.

And the space felt so empty,
As her elbows drooped by her sides,
And her fingers tapped a slow, steady rhythm
On baby's quiet back
Along side the creak of wood scratching wood.

An empty air,
Staring across a gray horizon
Where sky melted into water,
And light floated atop the surface
In an early dusk.

Drift, my baby,
May sleep forever embrace your sweet face.
