Strait of Georgia Sunset, Gibsons, Sunshine Coast, British Columbia, Canada

I the Sun; You the Moon

I wonder at you
Lapping at the shores
Of my consciousness
The light sussuru of wavelets
Tumbling onto the beach
A constant presence
Only noticed
When I turn my mind to you
And I realize
You’re always there
A tide
In constant ebb and flow
As I live in the world of the sun
And you the moon

Little Black Cloud, Gibson's, Sunshine Coast, Strait of Georgia, British Columbia, Canada

The Next Refrain

There’s a little black cloud
In the sky tonight
Between the setting sun
And the bright moonlight
There’s an indigo rush
As blood and ochre fight
And the sea is becalmed
Beneath the mountains might

I have stood here before
In this sundown pain
And the stars still to come
After the planets reign
With the world writ so large
I feel my being wane
Falling deep into grace
I sing the next refrain

Moment of Repose, Davis Bay Pier, Sechelt, British Columbia, Canada

Thank the Stars

On the dock
Moonlit night
Nascent star
Starry light

Contemplate
Infinity
The great beyond
The littlest things

Quazar
Quanta
All that is
Material

Close my eyes
Another look
A look within
A look without

Do Good

I do not need
To be whole
To do good

I do need
To do good
To be whole

Sailboat and Crescent, Howe Sound, Bowen Island from Horseshoe Bay, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Becalmed ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #91

Under an empty sky
But for the lonesome crescent

And I
Becalmed
On the quiet sea
Furl my sails
Start the engine
Turn for home

To which I bring
This peaceful moment

Crescent Moon and Evening Star, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Earth

Every now and again
Landscape and sky
Conspire to remind

I exist
On a speck
Of rock

In an expanse
Of space

Dotted
Here and there

With other

Little specks

China Southern Airlines CZ329, on approach to Vancouver International Airport, British Columbia, Canada

Dreaming of Space

I soar in the space
Between three globes

One below
One above
One beyond

And I wonder
At the span

In time
In distance
In possibility

While beginning
To descend

Knowing that time
And distance
Conspire

Against
Possibility

Back to Earth
Dreaming of space
In another time

Britannia Mine, Britannia Beach, British Columbia, Canada

Britannia Mine

In the day
This hulking grey
With windows dark
And broken glass

At night transforms
Bathed in warmth
A dinosaur preserve
In translucent amber

Crescent Moon, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Winter Crescent

Crisp and calm
I shiver at the camera’s side
Ever so gently, I try
Release the shutter

But there it is
The little jiggle
In the capturing moment
Where the house light doubles

Only I will notice, too
The crescent moved
As did the evening star
And the clouds

Autumn Light, Over Lynne Mansion, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada

Autumn Moon

In the chill night air of autumn
I lay down on a rainbow
Of dewy grass and withered leaves
To watch the super moon rise
Between shedding branches
