Pic and a Word Challenge #6 ~ Time

It’s only time, you know
That perfect line in nature
Whatever the process which created it
Whether physics, chemistry or biology

The line is just a moment in time
Created over time
And this moment
Is simply a snapshot

It is nature which most often
Takes away my breath
With feats of scale
And magnificence

Sometimes, even we small creatures
We engineers and builders
With concrete and steel
Overcome mighty nature

Fitzsimmons Creek
Cavorts and frolics
Over one thousand feet below

Betwixt and between
Whistler and Blackcomb
And miles of untracked snow

I love how
In a crowd of 50,000 strangers
I can find
The one person I want to know

And they can find me

It pleases me
I’m not sure why
It’s the blue
I think
The cobalt

It’s what drew me
What pleased
My mind’s eye
Said, “There’s something there”
Click
Click
Click

I rise from slumber
From darkness
Dawn light trickles in

Time enough
My phone says
For the walk

The difference
Between a boundary
And a frontier
Is a trick of the mind

I love to drive
On the back roads
Between rural towns
Where people raise a hand
Above the steering wheel

A neighbourly wave
To an oncoming car
For no other reason
Than to be friendly
To a stranger passing by

I am a being of the night
My energy rises when
Illuminated
By moonlight
And starshine

There are beauties and ugliness
In this world
Beyond my ken; beyond my perception
As if protected by an impenetrable wall
