Strange Imaginings

Sometimes
I wonder
If I know this planet
At all

Of course
I often manage
To imagine something
Stranger still

As time became time
In Ancestor’s dreaming
The void became sound
The sound became song
The Ancestors sang
The world into being

I wonder which god
With violent rhythm
And upending verse
Turned this sea bed on edge

Sometimes
It is the flowers
I fail to see
For the trees

They rise
Like a Wall
The Rockies

Towering
Above the land
Which for a thousand miles
Has known only sky
And a horizon
Beyond infinity

We enter here
By the millions
Entranced

Shadows in the sky

Where the sun
And the clouds
And the smoke
Interplay

Where the river
And the rails
Run in parallel
Display

Levels deep
Path obscured
Proceeding
On faith
Alone

Well
Faith
And experience

There is
Always
A path

Embers in the sky
Fueled by the smoke
Of distant fire
Ignited by a dying sun

Heart, mind, body and soul
Four independent currents

Perhaps enlightenment
is the condition
when all four
flow together as one

Vibrant
Violent
Fire

Consumes
Valleys
Distant

Choking
Smoke
Creates

Pastel
Twilight
Artistry

Calm
Lake
Okanagan

The express train rumbles through
town after town
station after station

Fleeting moments
in the picture of India
forming in my mind

Instants
out of the corner of my eye
stopped in time

Unfocused
Blurred
Impressions
