Light streaming through lattice and vines, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

Butterfly

The light streamed into the room
Like butterfly wings
And I couldn’t tell
Which was the more sensuous caress

The warm, dappled sunshine on my cheek
The cool, fragrant breeze rippling my hair
Or the way her fingertips
Lightly traced the nouveau shadows
Playing across my abdomen

Light and Darkness ~ Shadow, Lattice Wall and Light, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

Darkness & Light ~ Shadow

When the darkness comes
I try to remember the light
When the light comes
I try to remember the shadows

I don’t know if it’s better
To be blinded by darkness or light
But I know it is shadow
Which gives form and texture
To an illuminated world

Light Through the Lattice

There are multiple sources
Of light in this world
Not all of them
Illuminate my way

Of the rest, I’ve learned to follow
Not always the brightest
Nor the nearest

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

Where the light is most obscured

Sometimes
The most interesting things happen
The most beautiful things
Where the light is most obscured

I begin to understand
Why both the light and the dark
Are necessary

Darkness ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #48

Darkness is just a place
A state of mind
In which I have closed my eyes
To the beautiful perfection
Of existence

All I need
Is to open them
To see truly
And the light floods in

The Darkness, the Grey, and the Light.

In darkness
I find the light easily
I just open my eyes
And listen

It is the grey world of the mundane
Which confounds my seeking
Where everything which casts a shadow
Seems lighter than the darkness

Magic in the Darkness

There can be extraordinary magic
In even the darkest clouds

Shadows & Leaves, East Lawn Building, Riverview Hospital, Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada

Soft Light

The focus is a fair bit out
And the image over-sharpened
But I like the way
The soft light plays
Casting shadows from the leaves

12K in the trees, Overlynne Manor, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

From dark to grey to light

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
