Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, United States of America

Realms as beautiful as any I could imagine

Travel brings me
To realms as strange
And exquisite
As divine and beautiful
As any I could imagine
Or read about
Or discover
In the photographs of others

Nature’s Cathedral

Nature was building
Cathedrals to touch the sky
Long before we
Ever came along

Poetry by Patrick JenningsDec 2, 20157:00 am

A world of my own making

I live in a world of exquisite beauty
Fantastical in form
Vibrant in colour
A sensual delight
Of textures
Rough and smooth

I live in a world
Of song and voice
Of love and wisdom

Monument Valley Navajo Park, Arizona, United States of America

Time walked here

Time walked here
Aeons ago
Leaving its footprints
On the landscape

Not to become
Icons of Hollywood
But to impress upon the inhabitants
Where the true source
Can be found

Lonsdale Quay, Burrard Inlet, North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Unfathomable Wealth

What kind of person, with the power and resources to do so much for so many others, chooses instead to exploit them?

Burrard Inlet, Stanley Park, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

So I listen

Some days
There’s just not that much to look at

So I listen

I can close my eyes
On any day
And just listen
But I prefer the fog

It is easier
To imagine in darkness
To create a world of light
In my mind

Tyaughton Lake, British Columbia, Canada

Water, warmth and the company of family and friends

There is something to be said
For calm water and green trees
On a warm summer’s day
Spent with family and friends

Howe Sound storm, Britannia Beach, British Columbia, Canada

Fury ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #13

It is an angry sea
Whipped up
By a furious sky
And I…

I sink into my rage

Ferry Terminal, Porteau Cove, Howe Sound, British Columbia, Canada

In the tumult, find peace

On a cold, wet October afternoon
Howe Sound takes on the tone of slate
The wind blows hard
Straight up the channel
White caps breaking
Hair and camera strap fluttering

Yosemite Mist, Yosemite National Park, California, United States of America

Clarity in the Mist

I cannot, always
See all I want to see
Know all I want to know

But I am learning
To see beauty
In all that I can see
