blue hour, howe sound, from sea to sky highway, british columbia, canada

Wheeling Through Space and Time

Planets in the sky
Stars along the shore
Flickering
And I
A constellation
A God
Wheeling through space
And time
Across the eternal
Infinite

Moment of Repose, Davis Bay Pier, Sechelt, British Columbia, Canada

Thank the Stars

On the dock
Moonlit night
Nascent star
Starry light

Contemplate
Infinity
The great beyond
The littlest things

Quazar
Quanta
All that is
Material

Close my eyes
Another look
A look within
A look without

Rock ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #110

A trail through loose stone scattered
Gouged from mountains, crushed by time and ice, now at rest
Here I, immersed in the hiker’s mindful peace
Each measured step a meditative breath

Though, could I see
The immensity of time
With the eyes of this still young Earth

Then peaceful moment lost
Turmoil and cataclysm of tumbling land

And in those eyes, what am I?

But a mote of dust
Lost to infinity

Games ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #83

The game of games
In every land
Its dreams
Of fame and glory
Roaring crowds
And adulation
Playing out
In young boy’s hearts
Under the lights
Imagining a stadium
Fans in every seat
A swing away
From eternal meaning

Woman Beside the Tracks, Delhi to Agra Train, Uttar Pradesh, India

A Moment in Passing ~ Captured

A moment
A flash in passing
From a train window

A shawl
A dress
A woman

Old?

Yes

An old woman
Blending into the landscape
Now gone
Faster than you’ve read this
And soon enough
Forgotten

The Stone in the Lake

Oh I
Who felt the contractions
Of a world in birth
I carry the experience of aeons
The history of Earth

A solid from liquid
Carved and shattered
Cracks refilled by molten rock
Uplifted and fractured
Sundered and separated
Tumbled and rolled

Now here
Settled gently
On the shore
Of a still lake
On a quiet dawn
To marvel at the fleeting existence
Of the things that live
Even the tree

Derelict Pier, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, Britannia Beach, British Columbia, Canada

In another time

In another time
When the ships sailed in
And the ore shipped out

In another time
When the pier was planked
And we sailors came

In another time
Oh so long ago
In a world now lost

Pacific Sunset, Pacific Coast Highway, Near Santa Cruz, California, United States of America

Forever

I love finding the places
Which make me feel forever
Which connect me
To the workings of the Earth
To the stars beyond the clouds
As if the horizon
Reached out to infinity
