Firing up the Daisies, Quacco Head Lighthouse, St. Martins, New Brunswick, Canada

Inviting Clarity

Sun burns white hot
Through dissipating fog
Sets wildflowers ablaze
With its morning rays

Sonic beacon rendered mute
Its clarion calls to clarity
Invited cerulean hues

A day begun
In dour temper

Manifests its beauty

Solitude, Neil's Point Lighthouse, Neil's Point, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada

Sentinel ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #354

Solitary sentinel
Faces menacing skies

Steadfast
Resolute

Safe harbour signal
Sought in distress

Beacon Amid the Daisies, Quaco Head Lighthouse, St. Martins, New Brunswick, Canada

On Beacons and Buttercups

Diffuse light in dispersing fog
Daisies, clover and buttercups
Stretch into morning
Pastel whispers from daylight skies

Beacon’s warning
Smothered by the mist

So she howls
Into unknowable voids
Lest any run astray
To foul upon the stone
This wall between
The land and sea

While daisies, clover and buttercups
Tremble in the breeze

A Whisper in the Silence, Quaco Head Lighthouse, St. Martins, New Brunswick, Canada

Song to Silence

I wake in the mornings
Mind always in a foggy mist
To find, always
Like a whisper in the silence
Rising to become song
You are there

Nothing so rouses
My faded spirit
As your voice of grace
And compassion
Singing love to this soul
That’s lived in silence
