Sunset and the Sea
Calms my mind
Like a deep breath
Calms my mind
Like a deep breath
Frees my heart
Like a lover’s kiss
Spirit’s favourite playground

Proximate Intimacy
Proximate intimacy
The kinship felt by being close
Without touching
Even among strangers
It’s strange to live day after day
Without the physical nearness
Of another human being
Fucking virus
One Small Human on a Beach
I love the places
That make me seem small
And that I so often try
To make myself feel bigger
By focusing on some small detail
That make me seem small
And that I so often try
To make myself feel bigger
By focusing on some small detail
One tree in a forest
One stone on a beach
One face in a crowd
Pastel Twilight
Day passes into pastel twilight
Atmospheric soothing sigh
Let the night come
Sonorous repose
Eyes closed
Sleepy
Sleep
Atmospheric soothing sigh
Let the night come
Sonorous repose
Eyes closed
Sleepy
Sleep
Moon ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #230
In the cold quiet
Of a winter night
Me and the Moon
We have a chatter
Of a winter night
Me and the Moon
We have a chatter
Chunky frozen snow
Crunches underfoot
Shhhh, hisses the Moon
Be still
Listen
This I do
But all I hear is the Moon
Simmering on the snow peaks
Shhhh, Say I
To the full flood moon
Which does not know chagrin
Ahh, my friend
Replies the Moon
Would you have heard my sizzle
Had you never listened?
What Balance Looks Like
At the intersection
Of darkness and light
I discover rainbows
Of darkness and light
I discover rainbows
Take Flight
Ignited by an
Inner glow I take flight and
Rise free from his hand
Inner glow I take flight and
Rise free from his hand
Young Hustler
Softwood and salt
The smell’s never more intoxicating
Than when a log boom’s safely set to rest
At the end of a long week
The smell’s never more intoxicating
Than when a log boom’s safely set to rest
At the end of a long week
Kyle heads out
To recheck the lashings
I like that about him
He never leaves anything to chance
Always stupid checks his own work
That, and he always buys the first round
A Momentary Lapse of Fiction
The energy pulse slammed into the car
Which quivered briefly
Before vapourizing with a flash
Brighter than the beam
Which destroyed it
Which quivered briefly
Before vapourizing with a flash
Brighter than the beam
Which destroyed it
As the momentary daylight faded
The mist which was once my Toyota
Settled into the crater
That had been a parking lot
I hoped the owner
Of that formidable weapon
Hadn’t acquired my new position
The concrete barrier I’d sheltered behind
Suddenly seemed feeble protection
Night returned and I got the fuck outta there
