Brooding Monochrome

I love the blue skies
Snow-capped peaks
Atop emerald mountains
Over turquoise sea

But here is a rainforest
In this brooding monochrome
The nature of its beauty lies

And come to revel in it
Have I and many others

Cradled in the Clouds

I’ve never seen the expression
Cradled in the clouds
Rendered with such concinnity
As along the Sea to Sky

Rain

The rain installed
It’s own kind of pretty
On a day otherwise
Oh so grey and dreary

Mental Sunglasses

I put on my mental sunglasses
Close my eyes
Quiet my mind
To see deeply into the light
Try to understand the nature of its source
Beneath the brilliance of illumination

Howe Sound and Tug Boat, Horseshoe Bay, West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Slate Blue Sea to Sky

The Sea to Sky
Seems no less grand
Or mighty
When the sky
Hangs low
And the clouds
Engulf the mountains

And here am I
In my little boat
Hauling logs across
The slate blue sea
Of a world
I hold in awe

Stained Glass Window, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

Windows ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #64

Sometimes
All a window allows
Is the light of some unknown source
To illuminate a deep
Unsettling darkness

Often
That is enough
To learn the nature of darkness
So I may seek the source
Beyond the world I know

Teardrop Candle Sconce, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

Reign of Tears

The tears of the nation
Fell like rain
Until the lakes became seas
And the rivers poison
Until salt rime
Clogged every creek

So long as the people cried
They lived in their fears
They lived with their losses
Bemoaning the fate
Which had befallen them
Paralyzed with grief

Roots

The oldest story
As old as life
Seeking water
Seeking purchase

I set down roots
On which to stand
There hold on dear
Draw in the land

Pacific Spirit

I marvel
At all the many worlds I see
From just one place
In time and space

Moments within moments
Scenes within scenes
Lives in the midst of living

If only I take
The time to look

Transitions

The last of fall’s vibrance
Lingering
The trail from the beach
Transitioning

From bathers and sun-seekers
The summer of crowds
To seekers of solitude
Contemplative connection
With Earth and sea
And self
