All the many layers
I peel back
And still another layer
I peel back
And still another layer
Each a mystery
Each a surprise
Some a shock
Some a delight

Favourite Places
There are places I return to
Time and again
Time and again
Physical
Geographical
Emotional

Personal
Romantic
And every time
Find something new
Some original way to see
Some valuable insight
Convergent Light
I love when people discuss opposing ideas
In language spoken truly
With humility
Intent upon discovery
More than defense
Or the objective of winning
In language spoken truly
With humility
Intent upon discovery
More than defense
Or the objective of winning
Only under such conditions
Can the light of both ideas
Converge upon unexplored ground
Where it often illuminates
An insight better than either idea
Fire and Light
I am learning
The difference between
Fire and Light
The difference between
Fire and Light
One burns
The other illuminates
One is zealotry
The other is passion
One is hubris
The other is clarity
One is seduction
The other is insight
Details in the Darkness
I remind myself
Darkness is not simple
Darkness is never complete
Darkness is not simple
Darkness is never complete
In the intricate darkness
I find beauty
I find insight
Without a subtle understanding
Of the complexity of darkness
I will never see the light truly
The beauty in my own darkness
In the darkest moments
The light comes through
Illuminating shadows
Giving shape and form to the world
So I may find my way
To the beauty and insight
Hidden in my own darkness
The light comes through
Illuminating shadows
Giving shape and form to the world
So I may find my way
To the beauty and insight
Hidden in my own darkness
Seeking Questions
I rise up
From a valley of hot desolation
Raise my consciousness
From a cacophony of noise
From a valley of hot desolation
Raise my consciousness
From a cacophony of noise
In silence
I listen
In darkness
I find light
In mystery
I find insight
In questions
I find…
Time & Mastery
Let time
And mastery
Wash away
All that is
Not me
And mastery
Wash away
All that is
Not me
Let diligence
And patience
Bring on
The insightful
Flood
Let my spirit
Rise
From the flat
Featureless plain
That was me
Conflict and Resolution
Sometimes
The heat’s too hot
The cold’s too cool
No middle ground
To stand on
I choose one side
Or straddle both
The conflict
Still conflicted
Lichen and Words
With the order
And beauty
Of an insight
Larger than I
And beauty
Of an insight
Larger than I
The words come
The way lichen
Came to the rock
They come to me
Both words and lichen
So their beauty can be known
