Just one steady light
Piercing the darkness
Can guide me through
The rocky shoals

Lines & Words
I love
how a brush stroke
or a phrase
can create
an icon
how few lines
or words
are required
to tell a story
and how every story
and every icon
means something different
to everyone
Invisible Wind
A cloudless sky
An invisible wind
But for the snow
Dragged over the peaks
An invisible wind
But for the snow
Dragged over the peaks
A roiling plume
Like my mind
As I’m buffeted
Not so steadfast
As the rocky peaks
For Earth Day
When the moon and planets align
In the darkness that is not yet night
I am reminded that this home
This Earth
Is one preciously small orb
In a vastness sporadically dotted
With preciously small orbs
An infinitesimal in the infinite
Just like me
And I rejoice
In just how perfect that is
In the darkness that is not yet night
I am reminded that this home
This Earth
Is one preciously small orb
In a vastness sporadically dotted
With preciously small orbs
An infinitesimal in the infinite
Just like me
And I rejoice
In just how perfect that is
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

Finding the Steel
Beaten
Crushed
Defeated
Crushed
Defeated
I find the steel
Within
To go on
This Little Buoy
This little buoy
Between the rocks
Bobs and clangs
In gentle swells
Between the rocks
Bobs and clangs
In gentle swells
A narrow draft
‘Tween reef and land
One red one green
The channel marked
At night
Her light
Bright green
Is seen
Green on the port
To find the port
Green to starboard
Then sail the seas
Wake
Always looking forward
I move through the world
Oblivious to the wake
Left in my path
Until I look back
Into the shadowy past
And see the ripples
Of my existence
Disturb the worlds of others
I move through the world
Oblivious to the wake
Left in my path
Until I look back
Into the shadowy past
And see the ripples
Of my existence
Disturb the worlds of others
Occluded ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #135
Oh the grandiosity
Of mountain ranges
Under cloudless skies
Of mountain ranges
Under cloudless skies
Though here demurred
Occluding smoke
Smothers valley’s depth and scale
Still, upon a closer look
The trees, a ridge
A jagged line
And then another
Slight serrated edge
The third and fourth both smoother still
So scale restored
I can imagine depth, at least
As this choking smoke occludes my breath
I in the Crowd
I scan the crowd
Everyone so different
Yet all the same
Everyone so different
Yet all the same
And then there is I
So different still
From all the rest
Or so
I like
To think
