Algae grows
The Rain
The Sun
The Cold
The Heat
In the many battles of opposites
Nothing lasts forever
Except balance
The Rain
The Sun
The Cold
The Heat
In the many battles of opposites
Nothing lasts forever
Except balance
In another time
When the pier was planked
And we sailors came
In another time
Oh so long ago
In a world now lost
In a city of
Greys and dust
And muted blues
A young smile
Comes to me
“Take my picture”
She says
Then stands there
Happy and poised
In vivid red
With filters
Adding colours
With thinking
Adding meanings
Until the world I see
Looks nothing like
The world which is
One I observe most completely
With a quiet mind
And a still body
A peace I take with me
A harmony I can experience, anytime
By relaxing my body
Stilling my mind
And taking a few deep breaths
Sometimes
I think
The road unknown
Explores as much
The me I do not know
Which is all the more enticing
Than the me I believe is me
Calm as the air
Calm as the water
Resolute as the mountain
Free as the clouds
In a silence unbroken
But for the loon’s plaintive call
I sit
And rest
There’s often a line
A flow
A grace unintended
Unnoticed
Unseen before the backward glance
Here
and
There
Holdover from a time
Of neon
Air-con
And movin’ on
