A bridge
A portal

Seeking Serenity in Turmoil
In turmoil
I seek serenity
Not by blocking out
I seek serenity
Not by blocking out
The noise
The chaos
The violence
But by finding within these
The song
The rhythm
The transformation
Therein I discover
The beauty in all things
Therein awaits
Serenity
Therein am I
Transformed
The Wild Places
The wild places
Remind me
My presence here
Is a gift of technology
Remind me
My presence here
Is a gift of technology
Electricity and engines
Polymers and composites
Production lines and factories
I could not make
A single thing I’ve brought
Savouring Discovery
In the serenity
Of a quiet fall day
I savour the colours
Of transformaton
Of a quiet fall day
I savour the colours
Of transformaton
In the emptiness
Of my quiet mind
I discover the contours
Of being
Monochromatic Storms
Coal black sea
Slate grey sky
Snow white foam
Slate grey sky
Snow white foam
Keening wind
Reaches bone
Ferry lists
Returning home
Wistful sigh
Beauty storms
Quiet mind
Soon refilled
Mundane time
Take me home, now, wayward road
Take me home, now
Wayward road
I’ve set the course
For hearth and friends
Who knew me well
‘Fore all that changed
In the lands beyond
Our common sense
Wayward road
I’ve set the course
For hearth and friends
Who knew me well
‘Fore all that changed
In the lands beyond
Our common sense
But changed have I
Beyond a scope
I can explain
No people of
This world the same
Yet all alike
In ways I’ve seen
Which never learned
From books or schools
But only when
I took the road
And spanned the gap
In time and place
To meet them in
The worlds they’ve made
Sat at their hearth
And listened, then
Sunset Watch
I watch over you
In the darkest night
Until the sunrise
In the darkest night
Until the sunrise
And when the darkness
Comes again
There am I
A beacon for you
To find your way
For you are the light
Which made my own life
Bright as a beacon
Soaring
In dreams I soar
A gull on the sea wind
My bird eyes see
Where the air rises
Catch the updraft
Up high into the heavens
Then swoop and sail
Unfettered by land
Or gravity
Loudly skree with the bliss
A gull on the sea wind
My bird eyes see
Where the air rises
Catch the updraft
Up high into the heavens
Then swoop and sail
Unfettered by land
Or gravity
Loudly skree with the bliss
Storm Clouds at Sundown
We small creatures
Of no small hubris
Construct our wonders
In the shadow
Of glories profound
Of no small hubris
Construct our wonders
In the shadow
Of glories profound
