Mystery Envelopes Me, Cloudy Day, Banff, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada

Shrouded

Sometimes
I prefer
Mystery
Envelopes me

In this shroud
Of anonymity
I allow
The self is free

To explore
Deepest edge
Furthest field
Darkest path

So I may
Emerge again
Into light
Lit within

Twilight Encroaching, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, Lions Bay, British Columbia, Canada

Magic Hours

Where land and sky
And sea and sun meet
There the magic light
Comes twice daily

Glorious hours
Connect me
To all
In grace

Seen and unseen
Known
And unknowable

Mystery
And divinity

All that ever was
All that will be

All that is

Becomes

One

Infinity ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #88

I seek the moments
When the infinite
Becomes the infinitesimal

When the All
Which is everything
Becomes the One
Which is nothingness

I seek the moments
When paradox
Becomes awareness

Then am I filled
With the insight of mystery
The light of darkness
Then being becomes non-being

Himalayan Foothills Sunrise, Kunjapuri Devi Temple, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India

Layers

All the many layers
I peel back
And still another layer

Each a mystery
Each a surprise

Some a shock
Some a delight

Taj Mahal, from the Red Fort, Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India

Come Closer

Come closer, dear
So I can come
To know you better

In your presence
I deliver myself
To your mysteries

Light in the Trees, Seymour Demonstration Forest, North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Light in the Forest of Non-Being

Sunlight cracks through the canopy
Spreading through the boughs
Falling to the forest floor
Where I sit
With the birdsong
And the whisper of the wind
Through rustling branches

All there is
Is me
And nature

Mystery ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #37

On a sunny day
Under a crisp blue sky
Snow-capped mountains
Across the turquoise sea

Exquisite beauty

But I prefer the mystery

The Old Cliff Dweller's Lodge, U.S. Highway 89A between Jacob Lake and Bitter Springs, Marble Canyon, Arizona, United States of America

Run down and undermined

Scattered remnants
Run down and undermined
On burnt red gravel

Reminds me
Of Saturday morning
After a long week of long days

Pic and a Word Challenge #3: Depth

I have explored
The depths of the people I love
And discovered profound beauty

Still, there remain aspects unseen
Valleys undiscovered
Some never to be revealed

Poetry by Patrick JenningsMay 19, 20151:01 pm

Walls within Walls

Walls within walls
Doorways within doorways
Once forbidden
Once foreboding

Layers of mystery
Peeled away
By time
Politics
And Money
