The Rudiments of Beauty
I struggle to see
The beauty here
In a world
Of grim and grime
Of damage and refuse
The hard task
On this spirit path
Find the beauty
In all things
But there is colour
Form and texture
Elements underlie design
And the dynamic
Of a captured moment
In an old man’s morning
Mountain Climbing
The fabled range
Faded in the distant haze
Peaks too far to reach today
More this:
The journey here
Intends to scale
The mountains of
My inner life
In these foothills, at Rishikesh
Sun Rise
With its honey sky
Dark chocolate mountains
Cradle a mocha mist
I drink it in
This perfection
This preternatural beauty
My spirit soars
My arms outstretched
Imagining, I’m a hawk in the wind
Layers
I peel back
And still another layer
Each a mystery
Each a surprise
Some a shock
Some a delight
Morning Clarity
Behind mountain peaks
I dream myself
Waking into dawn
Into light
Light comes
Driving air
Down the valley
Clearing atmosphere
Of smoke and mist
Ohm, I sing
Into heart
Into center
Into spirit
River ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #75
To lap at feet
On sandy shore
In Rishikesh
Where it and I
Find some small tranquility
In the turmoil
Of inexorable change
Ganga, take me down
Down to distant sea
Where I become the drop
Which is, itself, the sea
And learn eternal peace
In oneness with the One
Silhouette Clarity
I get caught up in the details
See all the differences
Understand why
It can be so hard to get along
And then
On some glorious sunset evening
I see the world in silhouette
And understand how
We are all the same
Being Home
I began to understand
How much, in that moment
Home was where I wanted to be
Not for its familiarity
Nor for its comforts
Nor even its dull grey beauty
But for its being
An integral part
Of my being
