Tunneling in the Dark

As the last light fails
I go tunneling in the dark
Spelunking with my camera
Seeking twilit beauty
And the exquisite world
Only the tunnelers can see

Transfixed by the tumbling
Flecks of pulverized shell
Riding gentle wavelets
On a wide, shallow beach

Heavier than water
Lighter than sand
Carried by forces
Greater than they

The detritus
Which washes up
On my shore

I wonder at it
Why it won’t just
Wash away

Instead, oh instead
It just piles up
Detritus

Howe Sound Blues ~ A video collage of poetry and photographs featuring the Sea to Sky Highway.

This world
Of dusky blues
And blackened greens

This world
In which
Imagination sings

This world
Appears to me
In dreams

From a cold blue sky
Falls a star-like sun
Into puffy clouds
Blanket sharp-ridged peaks

With the day near done
Laying back, warm sun
Close my weary eyes
Breathe a heavy sigh

If you
Lead me
To the light

I will
Follow you

Many layers deep
Darkness receding
Clarity in the distance
Journey’s end in sight

In the tranquility
Of twilight
A tugboat
Tows three barges

From I know not where
To I know not where
And none of that matters

Floating on a cloud
Beneath the floating clouds
Mountains rising through
From the valley up to you
