Verdant Corridor, Rocky Mountains, Trans Canada Highway, Near Spiral Tunnels, British Columbia, Canada

Storms ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #140

Beyond such verdant corridor
A cacophony of mayhem
Though stride I must
Into the storm
Carry with me
Vibrant life
If only as
A notion
Which in turn
Will carry me
Beyond the gathering
Commotion

Cloud Over Rock, Banff National Park, From HI Banff Alpine Centre, Banff, Alberta, Canada

Water and Stone

I watch the clouds
Dominate the mountains
I see the rain
Cleave the stone

I understand
How the soft
Is stronger
Than the hard

Undiminished Beauty

Unfocused
Discord
Unsettled
Balance
Undiminished
Beauty

Vertical ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #139

I reach
Ever higher
To catch the wind
To touch the sky
To vouch for god

Never leaving the earth
But detached from it
Gone from ground

I reach
Beyond myself
Flutter in the wind
Adrift in the sky
Lost to god

Signs and Cormorants, English Bay, From Jericho Pier, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Diving Deep

Insight always delves
Deeper than my immediate grasp
Like a sign with clearly printed letters
Arranged as enigmatic words

While a mystery
Perfectly perceived
Remains a mystery

The cormorant dives deep
But must wait for its feathers to dry

Before it can fly again

Smoke Suffused, Rocky Mountains, Banff National Park, Icefields Parkway, Alberta, Canada

The Rockies

Even under the duress
Of smoke suffused atmosphere
An elegant and formidable beauty

Eerie Light, Boundary Bay, Delta, British Columbia, Canada

Seeing the True Nature of Darkness

Sometimes the light
Makes the eerie
Eerier
Makes the darkness
Darker

I remind myself
It’s better to see
Things as they are
To see the dark
In the darkness

Twice a Day an Island

This little bit of rock
Twice a day an Island
Momentary wilderness
Beyond an urban beach

Tugboat and Log Booms, Pacific Spirit Regional Park, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Mother

In magic hour’s
Golden glow
She tucks them gently
Into rustling sheets
Already deep
In slumber’s keep
A loving kiss
Upon each brow
Then turns away
Though not without
A backward glance
A silent sigh
She carries
With her
Into night
The peaceful sleep
Of innocents

Tugboats and Log Booms, Strait of Georgia, From Pacific Spirit Regional Park, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Backlight

There’s a bright light
Beyond the back of my mind
Illuminating a hint
Of a promise
For a possibility
I cannot quite
Comprehend

Formidable
Majestic

A divine grace

Nonetheless

Ultimately
Terrifying
