Making Home

It was a world not my own
With its weak red star
And its amber sky
The always cloud
And the never rain

But we’d brought our seeds
Planted our trees
Spread our grasses
Harvested the carbon
To surface the roads
To refine the fuel
To run our cars

Until
But for a few facts
Of geology
Meteorology
And astronomy
It was a world
Just like home

Valley of Discontent

In this valley of discontent
Light falls in but cannot escape

So I climb to highest ridge
Carrying unsubtle hope

Else bathe below in light’s deceit

Contemplation ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #103

Contemplating the turmoil
Roiling in my head
I notice a point
Centre of the storm
Centre of my being
Around which all
The turbulence pivots

There’s calm there
I fight my way toward it
Seeking the source of such peace
But bucked and buffeted
By the tumult
I make no headway
In the intensifying storm

The Space Between

The space between
The dark and light
Is sometimes just
A narrow gap

And in this lies
A beauty plain
Where truth is told
In high relief

No shadow cast
No grey to mask
On one side white
The other black

Moments of Discovery

I’m no hero
Reluctant or foretold
No beacon of goodness

I’m no brave soul
Blazing a path of wisdom
For others to follow

Such youthful fantasy

Dreamers

I ponder
All that is
All that never was
All that could be
All that never will

Thinkers explore
Every possibility
And dreamers
Every impossibility

Nature’s World

Oh have I travelled
Far from home
To other worlds
Beyond imagination

But never left
My own backyard
Nor taxed my powers
Of creation

Just let Nature
Take her course
Then revel in
Her machinations

Alpine Daisy Aster, Buller Mountain Day Use area, Spray Valley Provincial Park, Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada

Just my thoughts and my eye

In dappled sun
Breezes ruffle
Pastel petals
Stems buck and sway

Camera and I lying
In long grass
Ants trundling
Across thighs and calves

Dragonflies
Hover and dart
Seek mosquitoes
And deer flies

A Billion Years of History

Tempting it is
To call this landscape
Barren

No life
No green
No creatures
Scurrying

(Or so it seems)

Mighty & Humble

In this land
Of such magnificence
Even the mighty
Know humility
