City of Ghosts, Coal Harbour, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Never Night

On a world
Forever bright
Never night
The ever-present suns
Bear down
Hammers on
An anvil

Blessed shade and gloom
In an existence
Which fears the light
Grateful for each eclipse
Beauty in the shadows
Mystery in the illumined
Too bright for eyes to see

Blue Pier, Britannia Beach, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Expect the Unexpected

There are places
On this Earth
Which taught me
Expect the unexpected

And still
They surprise me

Moon and Shadows, Davis Bay Pier, Sechelt, British Columbia, Canada

Moon & Shadow

In the warmth of a summer night
We picnic on the pier
A gathering of family and friends
Me, set apart, just pondering

We are all just shadows
In the moonlight
Beneath a darkening sky
Of stars and cloud

All in motion, even I
In this moment fixed in time
Which has no memory
Or destiny

Clouds Whispering

A rocky beach
A sleepy sea
A sulfur sky
And cobalt high

Clouds whispering
Breathe in the air
My body sings

With the beauty
Of existence

Serrated Edge

Serrated edge
Rips the sky
Sunders ice
Pleases eye

Dull greys, New Delhi Rail Station, New Delhi, India

Escaping the Dull

In an urban landscape
Dust sodden blues
Rendered insincere
Dull, like the smoke-filled sky

I seek an escape
To the clear air
And verdant greens
Of the countryside

An escape denied
By the pervasive pollution
Of northern India

Evening Glow, Britannia Beach, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Eventide

Afterglow
Eventide
Drifting in
Endless calm
An in-drawn breath
A soft exhale
Mind so still
No rippling
In nature’s thrall
Eyes glistening

Britannia Sunset, Britannia Beach, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

All in a Sunset

I feel the calm
The blue cool
The amber warmth
And the universe
All around me

And then
I remember

I am the universe
I am the cool
And the warmth
I am the calm

Rainbow Sky, Near Lions Bay, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Blemish ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #127

Vibrant rainbow spans the sky
Colours smooth (though lacking green)
Broken only by small clouds
Blemish on a model’s cheek
Mirrors ferry, homeward bound
