Howe Sound Ferry

There is a magic
To movement
Through the waters
Of a narrow channel
Banked by mountains
And Islands
In the gathering darkness

I fought for justice
In a world which seemed
Villains and victims
Righteous rage and punishment

I strive for healing
And the world becomes
Healers and the healing
Compassion, grace and service

I take the darkened path
Knowing illumination
Will guide my way

The light

Of guides
Of friends
Of family

I breathe
Deeply
Evenly
Imagining

A lattice
Of light
Into which
My darkness

Falls

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

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

Often, I tunnel in
Narrow my focus
Until my vision
Hones on a singularity

All outside
Just fades away

Walking alone
It is harder
To find the light

I can only see so deeply into this world
It’s as if a layer of sand
Obscures what lies beneath

I reach down, deep
Pull back the sand
To reveal beauty
Unimaginable

I cannot find balance
Without loving darkness
In equal measure to the light
