Lattice Wall, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

A part of us all

There are moments of clarity
When I see, clearly
How connected we all are
How our beings interweave
Overlap
How each of us is
In some small
Significant
Way
A part of us all

A brook in the woods, Deer Lake Park, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada

A Natural Peace

There is a special kind of peace
A harmony in the presence of nature

One I observe most completely
With a quiet mind
And a still body

A peace I take with me
A harmony I can experience, anytime
By relaxing my body
Stilling my mind
And taking a few deep breaths

Light through the screen of darkness, The Magicians, Season 2

Details in the Darkness

I remind myself
Darkness is not simple
Darkness is never complete

In the intricate darkness
I find beauty
I find insight

Without a subtle understanding
Of the complexity of darkness
I will never see the light truly

Obscured Path, White Lake Trail, White Lake Grasslands, Okanagan Falls, British Columbia, Canada

Obscured ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #49

I follow the obscured path
Tall grass licking my legs
Tickling the spokes
Going “teedle teedle teedle”
While handlebars cut a swath
Parting a bow wave in the ocean of grass

It’s like swimming through a sea
Of stems and raspy leaves
The stiff breeze wrestles up a wave
Which rolls across the grassland and trees
A moment of cool in the sun roasted air
Which clings to my lips, dries my lungs

The beauty in my own darkness

In the darkest moments
The light comes through
Illuminating shadows
Giving shape and form to the world
So I may find my way
To the beauty and insight
Hidden in my own darkness

Poetry by Patrick JenningsAug 6, 20161:23 pm

Where the light is most obscured

Sometimes
The most interesting things happen
The most beautiful things
Where the light is most obscured

I begin to understand
Why both the light and the dark
Are necessary

Light in the Darkness, Central Park, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada

In every darkness

There is a light
To find my way
In every darkness
Which I remind myself
To seek

And when I
Finally find the light
No matter where
It seems to be

The Granularity of Existence

There is this granularity
To all existence
To things
To life

The fractal geometry
Of everything

Littler things
Make up little things
Little things
Make up bigger things
Bigger things
Make up big things

Light in the Trees, Seymour Demonstration Forest, North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Light in the Forest of Non-Being

Sunlight cracks through the canopy
Spreading through the boughs
Falling to the forest floor
Where I sit
With the birdsong
And the whisper of the wind
Through rustling branches

All there is
Is me
And nature

Light through the Autumn Colours, Over Lynn Mansion, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada

Darkness ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #48

Darkness is just a place
A state of mind
In which I have closed my eyes
To the beautiful perfection
Of existence

All I need
Is to open them
To see truly
And the light floods in
