Caress, Amphitrite Point, Wild Pacific Trail, Ucluelet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

Riding the Storm

The wind breaks the water
Like the water breaks the rock
Jagged and punishing

While I ride the storm
Sleek and smooth

A dulcet caress

Cygnet Cove, Ucluelet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

Nestled In

Nestled in
Amongst the trees
Beyond the rock
Beyond the seas

Sheltered from
The wind
A little

Below the cloud
Upon the land

This restful haven

Boiling Churn, Blackrock Resort, Ucluelet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

Storms

The sea and sky
In boiling churn
Salt foam dashed
Upon the rocks
Tumbling clouds
A sullen bruise

And I
Perturbed by
Surly wind
Stand upon
This blackened shore
Witness to
Such vicious storm
Attest to irony
As anger seeps
Drawn from me
In receding waves
While despair
My unhappy lot
Whisked from me
By driven air
To mingle with
The passing cloud

Snowline, Scored Granite, Athabasca Glacier, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

The light in the depths

My toes in the water
So still
They cast no ripple
Even as the milfoil sways
Gently tickling my skin

My shadow on the pond
Consumed by the canopy of trees
Ringed by the light blue sky
The reflections smooth and steady
Upon a surface of euclidian perfection
