Peeling

I study the frame
Seek the beauty
In the broken
The decrepit
And ugly

I find it
Almost always

A lesson as valuable
For the photographer
As for the pilgrim

Shimmer Wings, Fireboat, English Bay, British Columbia, Canada

Butterfly

Shimmer wings filter
Sunset glitter dying day
Butterfly takes flight

Sunset, The Strait of Georgia, BC Ferries, Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay, British Columbia, Canada

An Unmoving Frame

I began to notice
With fascination
Placing a moving object
Near the center of the frame
Tended to convince my mind’s eye
The object was no longer moving

Celestial Lullabye, Gibsons, Sunshine Coast, British Columbia, Canada

Earth-song

Clouds pull blankets high
The sun playing peak-a-bye
Earth-song’s lullaby

Crescent Sliver, Bowen Island, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Sliver of Light

A sliver of a whole
Adrift in a vast duskiness
Far removed
From this gentle Earth

Yes

I know something about you
Moon

But soon enough
The stars, and the Milky Way

So I want to thank you now
Moon

For the reminder to come
That I need not linger
In the dusk

Fallen

Fallen colour fades
Silent soldiers lying still
After the battle

Frame of Mind

Obscure
Mystery
Cloak
Soften
Dreary
Soak
Storm
Dour

Emerge
Fascinate
Protect
Soothe
Rainfall
Nourish
Excite
Beauty

Beleaguered Pier, Britannia Beach, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Curtain Call

Beleaguered pier
Time chastened
Weather beaten

A formation
Of pilings
Long past utility

Though still
They throw
A striking pose

Just before
The curtain
Falls

Andaman Sea Sunset, Near Krabi, Thailand

From Deep Within

If the sky can seem to be
So many layers deep
Illuminated so vibrantly
From deep within

Perhaps, so can I

Islands in the Mist, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

The Beauty of Mystery

I find serenity
In the mystery
Peace in the unknown

Accept the beauty
In what is revealed

Keep faith in the obscured
