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

Sweet Dreams are Made of This, Riverview Hospital, Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada

Corridor Dreaming

I dream of corridors
Every one different
But all the same

The light is soft
Though harsh
Streaming in
Through doors
All open
On the right

An inviting light
Nonetheless too bright
And as I tread
Ever-so-gingerly
Down the corridor

Fractured Flash

I pan the camera
180 degrees
Seawall to Seawall
From Lions Gate span
Into Eastern sun
Morning fog
Laying low

Three times
A pair of runners
Find the frame
One time coming
One time going
And one time
In a fractured flash
As they pass before me

Cloudy sky, Thompson River Valley, Savona, British Columbia, Canada

So Many “Me”s

There are so many places
Wanderlust takes me
And every one
Brings out
Another
Me

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

The Spirit of Haida Gwaii, by Bill Reid, International Terminal, Vancouver International Airport, British Columbia, Canada

The Spirit of Travel

From the very beginning
Life has always been
A journey

Vancouver

It is, after all
Just a small collection of buildings
Snuggled up to a forest
Surrounded by water
In the shadow of mountains

Dominated by nature

Which is, of course
Its greatest appeal

Emergency Ferry Terminal, Porteau Cove Provincial Park, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Emergency Use Only

The rain came hard
The mountains came down

In torrents
Of mud
And rock
And trees

Wiping away bridges
Wiping away people

The road broke down
So access broke down
