Bowyer Island Dusk

The tranquility of dusk
Descends on the world
On my spirit

So I begin
The time of
Renewal

The rain
Clings to the moss
Clings to the limbs
Clings to the trunk
Clings to the earth

While the light
Clings to them all
Clings to me
Clings to my mind
Clings to my heart

The obstacles in my path
Alter my flow
Creating new patterns
Of experience
In the eddies

Beautiful patterns
Surprising, exquisite
Challenging, evocative
Alarming, provocative

Tantalizing
Tantalus
Dragon-backed ridges
Under indigo
And ice

I stop here
Often
To Wonder
To be
Tantalized

As much as I love
A sunset
I love
Even more
The opportunity
To greet its return

I do not mourn
The passing of the sun
Because it is beautiful
And I know it will return

It is no different
With the cycle of life
And death
And rebirth

An endless sea to my left
Mountains rising
Into the sky on my right

A yellow stripe
And smooth asphalt
Winding along
The rocky shore between

Where sun and sea and land meet
Where the waves roll in
And break on rocky shores
Under the sun’s illuminating grace

I find the rhythm of being

On a cold grey
Wet dark day
Some places
Invite me

Come inside
It’s warm
And dry
And cozy

I followed the footfalls
Through grass-laden dunes
Where grey, heavy mist
Permeated the sand

I wondered who’d been here
Where had they gone
From where had they come

I followed the footfalls
Until their abrupt ending

Swallowed up by the sea
