Monochrome Canyon, Bright Angel Point, Grand Canyon National Park, North Rim, Arizona, United States of America

Time and Change

I stand on the edge
Of a hundred million years
Changing, changing, changing
Always change

One score and five thousand years ago
Human eyes came to see
Human hands learned to make

All our grandiose change
No match for nature’s hand

Grand Canyon National Park

There are no greater engineers
Than time, physics and chemistry
Set to work upon this small sphere
Of atoms hurtling through space

Bright Angel Point, North Rim, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, United States of America

Unfathomable

Some days
It’s like waking
Into a surreal world
Unfathomable events
Unimaginable consequences

I remind myself
The chaos of such moments
Brings change
The necessity of it
The inevitability of it

Bright Angel

Down into the depths
Of this world
Of my spirit
Plunged the Bright Angel

Bringing light
To darkness
Bringing purpose
To doubt
Bringing meaning
To listlessness

Deep Blue Sunset, Point Imperial, North Rim, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, United States of America

Blue ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #53

No matter the depth
Of the blue I fall into
There is light above
And a vibrancy of life
I can climb to

Sunset, Viewed from Point Imperial, Grand Canyon National Park, North Rim, Arizona, United States of America

Divided ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #36

Sometimes
The chasm between
You and I
Seems so deep
Seems so wide

I cannot see
Into the depths
I cannot see
The other side

Plumbing the Depths

I have only just begun
To plumb my own depths

How can I ask you
To understand me

Poetry by Patrick JenningsNov 27, 20158:40 am

No mere recorder this

Light falls
On an electric canvas
Strokes from a brush
Made of glass

Interpretations
Of a world made
From highlights
And shadows
Rendering texture
And line

Visiting an ant’s world

I step up to the rim
Take out the camera
And begin to snap
Feverishly
In the failing sunlight

When it’s no longer possible
To get an image
With a hand-held camera
I sit down
And bask in the immensity

Pic and a Word Challenge #3: Depth

I have explored
The depths of the people I love
And discovered profound beauty

Still, there remain aspects unseen
Valleys undiscovered
Some never to be revealed
