Goosenecks State Park, San Juan River, Utah, United States of America

Trust the Flow

I make my way
Down winding path

Though much I seem
To go astray

Just trust the flow
To lead the way

So long as I
Keep steady craft

Row with the main
And level stay

I’ll reach the calm
Upon this raft

Alpine Daisy Aster Close, Buller Mountain, Spray Valley Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada

Unbroken

In the shadows
On the periphery
Core hidden away

I observe the violence
The hurt
The suffering

Detached
Feeling nothing

To feel would be
To shatter

So strong because

So fragile

Sunset and Alpen Glow over Jasper, Amber, Violet and Indigo, Jasper Sky Tram, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

Jasper Butterfly

Over Jasper
Where sunset meets the alpenglow
Amber mingles with the violet and indigo

Here am I
On the cusp of the sky
While far below
Rivers and life
In endless flow

Reminding myself
Of the importance
Of even one small voice
In the tide of events

Like the butterfly
In Beijing
I flutter
Back down to the valley
Where I ride the flow
Singing
From the depth of my soul

Peaks ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #145

I rise up
Above it all
See the world
Beyond the peaks
Touch the sky
Breathe in space
Feel the Earth
Beneath my feet
Await the stars
Infinity

Existence set
In time and place
Yet all at once
I’m every where
I’m every thing
I’m not at all

To be
And not
To be

Sunset, Jasper, from the Jasper Skytram, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

Moments of Beauty Between the Darkness and the Light

Violet ascendant
In the failing light
Amber blanket
Beneath the indigo
Soon enough to fall
Into star-flecked obsidian

Here I stand
On this thin edge
Of the cusp
Between darkness and the light
Witness to
An extraordinary beauty

Poetry by Patrick JenningsJun 22, 201810:01 pm

Violet

The violet
Behind my eyes
Followed on
The indigo
Which followed still
The cobalt blue
Where once was just
Obsidian

From the black
My spirit rose
Found the path
Where current flows
The energy
Connects us all
And me to me
The deepest part
I come to know
In violet light
Is bathed

Beyond the Mountains Blue, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Gondola, Squamish, British Columbia, Canada

Desire

Where the filtered sun
Casts mountains blue
Across this deepest valley
Beyond a distant shore
The clouds so busy gathering
While here the skies so clear

But there I know she waits for me
Climb down, then sail, then climb again
Enwrapped within her arms
Perhaps by then the rain will come
Reverberant charms upon the tin
In rivulets down window pane
Lay with her in such sweet refrain
Flames crackling in the hearth

I feel the heat
Hot on my flesh
Alas it’s but the sun
It fuels a fire
Within my heart
Upon this rocky bluff

Sun Burst, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Gondola, Squamish, British Columbia, Canada

After the Oil Boom

Well I dreamed I saw the clouds
And the heat waves coming.
Wretched mad man on my mind
When the sun burst through the skies.
There was my heart there singin’ in the light
But I felt like I could cry.
Look at mother nature on the run
In the twenty seventeen.

Dramatic

Sometimes the drama seduces me
Saturated intensity
Overwrought meaning
There’s a beauty in the extreme
Which satisfies my lust
For something bigger than myself
But leaves me spent
Exhausted
Weakened

Focus ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #144

Sometimes
It’s hard to stay focused
To capture all the details
To see the whole picture

Still
I see enough
To know the beauty
Of a moment
