Under A Wan Sun

On a cool day
Under a wan sun
Sintering through the cloud
Throwing speculars here
A weak shadow there

A young man throws sticks to his dog
Which gleefully, gaspingly
Retrieves them

Discovering the Unexpected

I love discovering the unexpected
Love finding my way into a newness
I had never imagined before

I love it so much
I tend to find it
Where others see only the everyday
Only the expected

Moral Victories

Moral victories
Ring hollow
In every context
But imagination

Visiting an ant’s world

I step up to the rim
Take out the camera
And begin to snap
Feverishly
In the failing sunlight

When it’s no longer possible
To get an image
With a hand-held camera
I sit down
And bask in the immensity

The smoke of a distant fire

The smoke of a distant forest
Set alight by a careless ember
Saturates the atmosphere
Makes it heavy
Burdensome
Diminishing the scale
Of Nature’s triumph

Beautiful & Alien

Sometimes I can’t recognize
The Earth I’m walking on
Beautiful and alien

Forms and lines
With seeming guile
Lead my eye
On paths unknown

Every day a victory

Every day a victory
When before the dawn

I rise from sleep
To greet the sun
With song and peace

Then in its light
Join reverie
For life and love
And Harmony

Gateway ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #11

On the other side
The great beyond
Beckons with
Adventure’s promise

In the heat

Like a weight
Upon my skull
The sun bears down
As heat drifts up
From dusty ground

I wonder
At the tenacity
Of living things
And marvel at the beauty
Death sometimes brings

The moon in the light of day

At those times
When the moon is visible
In the light of day
I may be reminded
That darkness is never far away

I may think of friends
Who are far away
But always in my orbit
Always there
Even if not visible
In my daylight skies
