The Inner Grassland Sea, Merritt, British Columbia, Canada

Sailing ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #286

I follow
The land’s flow
Over swell
And hollow

This sea of soil
Calls out to
Hard men

Sailors of
The grasslands

Content to be at sea

Full Colour Treatment, Pacific Coast Highway, California, United States of America

Dance ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #285

I travel along
The thin edge of life
Steep hillside above
Roiling sea below

Confined
Yet
Content

Breakers rumble
And susurru

Their soothing song

While the drive
Becomes dance

With the curves
And rolls
Keeping time

As if the lilt
Of the waves
Sing the highway
Into being

Vulnerable ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #284

Some days the world seems
So very small and I feel
So vulnerable

Exploration

Destination calls
Beyond a pathless expanse
Beckoning promise

Memories Under Glass

I’m gone
And she stayed behind
Or I left her

I’m not sure
Which narrative
I like the least

I carry her still
A memory under glass
Shrouded and unrepentant

A story ended
Without end
And yet untold

But for the voice
In my heart
That won’t let her go

Layers: Sea, Peaks and Sky, BC Ferries, Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay, The Strait of Georgia, British Columbia, Canada

Layers ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #283

Gentle seas
Jagged peaks
Sky in turmoil

So go
The many layers
Of I

Leaving

We argue
Whether it is
The destination
Or the journey
That matters

But sometimes
We need only observe
The point of departure
As it recedes
Into the distance

Monkey & Red Fort Sunrise, Hotel Tara Place, Chandni Chowk, New Delhi, India

Penultimate Sunrise in the Big Smoke

It was the last full day in India. The smoke had been chokingly thick for the entire month I’d spent in the north, and Delhi hadn’t even been the worst of it. Still, I’d found a decent rate at a decent hotel (some small comfort in exchange for the respiratory distress) on the edge of Old Delhi’s fantastical Chandni Chowk markets for the final days before my flight home.
