Hardened Shell

Cutting through the hardened shell
Of cognitive dissonance
And confirmation bias
Reveals a frightening realm
Of ill-defined objects
And unresolved detail

But better to crawl through
To this wilderness of consciousness
Than remain unconscious
Battering the cage
Of my own ignorance

Angles and Hard Lines

I have made myself
A collection of angles and hard lines
A manifestation of steely pride

Still the shadow of nature
Falls upon me
With her supple forms
Her irregular grace

So I quiet the urge for being
Let her sunshine warm me
And become the bough
Blowing in the wind

Willow, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

World Awry

In a world gone awry
Yet burgeoning
With the potential
For growth and new life
He clung to the old ways
Like a dead leaf
To a broken stem
On a barren tree
In the dead of winter

He lived
In oblivion
Surrounded by
Possibility

Oh Canada

I came
For big mountains
And the deep deep snow

I stayed
For the kindness
And the deep deep grow

Moon ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #60

Like the moon moves the ocean
Like petals draw the bee
Like dawn wakes the songbird
Your love’s compelling me

A-maze-ing Laughter Sculpture by Yue Minjun, Morton Park, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada,

Ending the Bad Days

Sometimes
The end of a bad day
Begins with a smile

Wry or pained, OK
Irony works
It can lead to a chuckle

In a chuckle
There is often a laugh
And in a laugh, sometimes a guffaw

Dive Markers

They dive below
A place called
Sea to Sky
Explore a world
Few eyes will see
Hidden
Underneath
A land of
10,000 photographs

Departing Departure Bay, Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada

The will to move

When I look back
At all the worlds
I’ve left behind
On journeys past

Some with regret
And, some, disdain
Though most with neither
This nor that

I think not
Of the world I’m in
The present
Not this very day

But all the worlds
I’ve yet to see
Which will also
Fall behind

Looking Back ~ A Year of Pic and a Word

I like to glance back
At the path I’ve travelled
To learn from trials and failures
From adventures and successes
And celebrate them all

Then I turn forward
Take the next step
With a clearer vision
Of the trials and adventures
The path ahead promises

The Many Faces of Evil

I am fascinated
By the many faces of evil
Or, rather, the masks
Put on, not by the wearer
But by the eye and imagination
By the prejudice and will
Of individuals
And the masses

Evil is, so often
A quality of the namer
Rather than the named
