Fog Shroud, Oregon, United States of America

Shrouded in Fog

This rocky land
This forlorn place
This world in
Shrouded grey

Beyond the straight
A farther shore
Receding
In the mist

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

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

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 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
