Snowline, Scored Granite, Athabasca Glacier, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

The light in the depths

My toes in the water
So still
They cast no ripple
Even as the milfoil sways
Gently tickling my skin

My shadow on the pond
Consumed by the canopy of trees
Ringed by the light blue sky
The reflections smooth and steady
Upon a surface of euclidian perfection

Forest of Luminous Trees, Etched Granite, Athabasca Glacier, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada copy

Bringing Home

Night falls
On the Forest of Luminous Trees
The tungsten fireflies flit
Like comets
In a Milky Way sky

On a world
Of alien beauties
We’ve given familiar names
So not to feel
So far from home

Hope Slide, Nicolum Valley, Cascade Mountains, British Columbia, Canada

What it seems

All I know is myth
Particular things
I create by naming
In lands appearing

Before my eyes

Where nothing is
Just what it seems
Since what it seems
Is in my mind

Impenetrable Light, Langley, British Columbia, Canada copy

Dreamers

I ponder
All that is
All that never was
All that could be
All that never will

Thinkers explore
Every possibility
And dreamers
Every impossibility

Rainbow in the Maelstrom, Athabasca Falls, Athabasca River, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

Lightworker

In the turmoil of fragmentation
As what was once whole
Fractures and atomizes
I am startled to discover
Running through the center
Of this formidable chaos

A rainbow

Vibrant
Insistent
Inspiring
Beautiful
