Love Grace Beauty Meaning

I am moved most

By the things we
     construct
     create
     imagine

For
     love
     grace
     beauty
     meaning

Utility
Matters little
To me

Except
In a tool
For creation

Southbound Highway 87, Between Round Top and Winslow, Arizona, United States of America

Where Adventure Begins

I take the straight road
Through the golden land
Beneath illumined skies

Somewhere beyond
The vanishing lines
Where the land rises
Above the horizon

The straight lines curve and wind
Flaxen plain becomes jagged stone
Sunset gives way to twilight
Gives way to deepest night

There the adventure begins

Vancouver and Harbour, From Woodward's Building, British Columbia, Canada

Builders We

Such prolific builders we
Who raze an endless stand of trees
Erecting concrete towers in their place
With geometric rigour lacking nature’s grace
We sunder her, retrain our eyes to see

Prevailing Winds

So goes the wind
So goes nature

Aqua and Azure ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #134

On another day
The storms would come
To whip the sea
Into delightful fury

But today
Though the wind be high
In the lee of the rocks
A delightful calm

I love them both
The battering grey
The aqua and azure
Though…

Strait of Georgia Sunset, Gibsons, Sunshine Coast, British Columbia, Canada

I the Sun; You the Moon

I wonder at you
Lapping at the shores
Of my consciousness
The light sussuru of wavelets
Tumbling onto the beach
A constant presence
Only noticed
When I turn my mind to you
And I realize
You’re always there
A tide
In constant ebb and flow
As I live in the world of the sun
And you the moon

The Most Powerful Love

I try to imagine
Something more powerful
Than the beauty of you
More magnetic
Than the light of your being
Something which could draw me in
With such inescapable gravity
As the love I’ve discovered
At the center of your heart

Nothing comes to mind

Eastern Glow

While others gaze
Upon low lying sun
I turn my eye
Unto opposing sky
And glory in
The subtler shades
Which vibrance
Though far less pronounced
Such bare honest glow
With its gracious tones
In soft pastel
Restrained
Does not shout out
But whispers clear
“I am a sight
Held no less dear”
