"The edge of the infinite labyrinth, sand-staked and waterbound, is where the moon's formula meets the cadence of stellar silence."
-- Anonymous Tidal Poet, Early 21st Century
The evolution of tidal patterns resembles an endless maze, wrought from cyclical gravitation and ever-shifting terrestrial alignments. A maze formed not by walls but by the ephemeral, elusive race of waters across the sea bed.
This verse contemplates the impact of these intricate geometries of water, as they simulate boundaries and gateways which never conclude. Observationally, each cycle offers a semblance of completion, only to invite another journey through its deterministic yet unpredictable pathways.
Through quantum and classical lenses, the poem enacts a derivative discourse on erosional topographies—where every iteration of tide leaves a mark, subtle or pronounced, such that each loop in the sediment hints at a passage yet to be explored.
