Perfect

This perfect valley
In the perfect light
With the perfect clouds
Make a perfect moment

This perfect is mine
Not the valley’s
Not the light’s
Not the clouds’

I remind myself
True happiness
Is found in finding
The perfect in everything

Golden Heights, Bolinas, From Panoramic Highway, Mt. Tamalpais State Park, California, United States of America

Heights ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #164

From the Golden State’s
Golden heights
I kick back

Refreshed by the cool breeze
Chilling the fire
Of the hot sun

Atop the curvilinear delights
Of hillocks dappled
With grasses and pines

Where even infinity seems so close
I could touch it
Right there

As the curve of the Earth
Rounds the line
Where ocean meets the sky

Fire ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #152

I cannot see the fire
Still, the sky betrays its presence
As yet the flames present no danger
Though the possibility be mentioned

So am I reminded
A threat may seem remote
Or weak in its intention

But a threat it is
Toxic in its notion

I do well to heed an atmosphere in tension

where there is fire, Rocky Mountains, Alberta, Canada

Where There’s Fire

Sinewy sifting
Suffusing valleys
Smoke expanding
Soft stifling blanket
Seeking prairies
Eastward

Encroaching Twilight, Jasper Skytram, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

Peaks ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #145

I rise up
Above it all
See the world
Beyond the peaks
Touch the sky
Breathe in space
Feel the Earth
Beneath my feet
Await the stars
Infinity

Existence set
In time and place
Yet all at once
I’m every where
I’m every thing
I’m not at all

To be
And not
To be

Sun Burst, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Gondola, Squamish, British Columbia, Canada

After the Oil Boom

Well I dreamed I saw the clouds
And the heat waves coming.
Wretched mad man on my mind
When the sun burst through the skies.
There was my heart there singin’ in the light
But I felt like I could cry.
Look at mother nature on the run
In the twenty seventeen.

Cloud Over Rock, Banff National Park, From HI Banff Alpine Centre, Banff, Alberta, Canada

Water and Stone

I watch the clouds
Dominate the mountains
I see the rain
Cleave the stone

I understand
How the soft
Is stronger
Than the hard
