Ripsaw peaks
Sunder ice
This land distressed
And yet at peace
Beguiles spirit
Releases soul
Inner silence
Serenity

Ascending to Descend
For some
The mountains
Are there to ascend
The mountains
Are there to ascend
For others
The ascent climaxes
With a beginning
Sometimes
The ecstasy
Is in the descent
Symphony
Early season
Symphony of snow
Graceful waltzing arcs
Vigorous staccato bumps
Rhythms and melodies
Of edge and wax
Symphony of snow
Graceful waltzing arcs

Illumination
Illumination lingering
Day’s departed sun
Twinkling distant galaxies
Day’s departed sun
Twinkling distant galaxies
Dotted sky
Cloud obscured
Nighttime creatures hurrying
Light beam shoreline racing
Destination seaside stars
Dotted land
Life obscured
Cattails and Colour
Cattails sway
Moved by the breeze
Summer songs
Giving way
To crows and jays
While summer’s creatures
Burrow deep
Or fly away
Moved by the breeze
Summer songs
Giving way
To crows and jays
While summer’s creatures
Burrow deep
Or fly away
Soothed
By gentle light
And subtle colour
Fall’s transition
Life retired
The air goes cold
Wafts of change
Await the spring
To be renewed
Empty Bench
Last of the colour clings
Pool of yellow below
The bench, empty
Pool of yellow below
The bench, empty
Walking past
Eyes turned away
She would never sit there again
Not without him
Diminutive ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #118
I like the cities best
When they seem small
Diminutive
When they seem small
Diminutive
Dwarfed by sky and clouds
Or in the mountain’s shadow
Some small dot upon the plain
Not so much larger
Than its inhabitants
Nor any one who on the streets
Looks up at towers looming
Considering what hands have built
In any way diminishes
The smallest human being
Cloud Dance
The world moves
In ways…
I had no idea
Standing by the camera
As it click-click-clicked
The cars, I watched
The boat across the sound
I saw it too
But the clouds
I couldn’t see, in real time
Their two-way dance
