Diminutive ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #90

Diminutive
Am I within
This grand design
Of laws and matter

Such that I
Go travelling
A great expanse
Or one so seeming

In truth
A journey of
A thousand miles
Is hardly more than one

In a universe
Far wider still
Than light
Has ever gone

Magic Hour

Magic hour
In a land
Of no small magic
Conspires to create
Tableaus of beauty
Inimitable

Evanescent ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #89

Celestial cyclic moment
With every day arise
As starlight crests horizon
Seeking eastern skies

Awakened human spirit
A grace divine replies

The night is done
New day is come

I breathe in deep
Exhale a grateful sigh

Swagger

Swagger
Chutzpah
Presence

A small man
Of no small mass

A big heart
A wise soul
Both worn
Close to the surface

Feng Shui Calm

Rain on lotus pad
Pitter-patter droplets caught
Little waterfall

Trust

She was broken and battered
Her ability to love
Damaged and misaligned
And yet

There was to her
A tenacious spirit
She grappled despair
And brought it down
Smothering the darkness
Not so much with light
But with a glimmer

I thought it was hope
But it was trust
Not just the kind
Given to others
But the kind given to self
Given to circumstances
Given to time, and possibility

Highway 87, Arizona, United States of America

Movement

I travel
Because
Standing still
Is death

An endless road, Highway 87, Somewhere between Round Top and Winslow, Arizona, United States of America

Miles of Earth

I have driven
Many miles of Earth
Across continents
And countries

And where others see
Monotony
Or mundanity

I discover
Exquisite

Subtlety

Poetry by Patrick JenningsApr 25, 20177:00 am

Sphere of Influence

Sometimes I feel
Beyond my flesh
Sense the world
And its beings

Not by touch
Nor sight
Nor sound
Not by smell

Like a sphere of presence
A sphere of influence

Because others
Feel me, this way

And I feel them

Like I know them

Crescent Moon and Evening Star, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Earth

Every now and again
Landscape and sky
Conspire to remind

I exist
On a speck
Of rock

In an expanse
Of space

Dotted
Here and there

With other

Little specks
