An Ode to The Seven

I see The Seven
In the land
The textures
The gestures
The shapes and lines

And the colours
Oh the colours
Ever vibrant
Even this brown earth

They painted
With expansiveness
Let the grandiose
Dominate the brush

Then I
So happy
For just a hint of them
Through the glass
Held in my hand

Pitter Patter

Pitter patter
Falls the rain
And the leaves

Splish splash
Boat at anchor
On the sea

Roly poly
Float the logs
Storms set free

Blanket ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #170

On a crisp chill morn’
Paradox so comforting
Fresh blanket of snow

broken starburst, bow river, bow river parkway, banff national park, alberta, canada

To View or be Present

In the sky
A convulsion of light
While below
The Bow
Winds its way
Down the valley floor
With the forest
Standing sentry

And I
Delight in the roar
Of rushing water
Coursing over stone
For a moment
At least
As content
To view the scene
As to be in it

Falling

I tumble
Into an unknown
Wrapped within
A cacophony
Of confusion

Resist
And be dashed against
The rocks

Let go
Allow the chaos
To coalesce

I rejoin
Resolving flow
Into the known

rainbow spray, athabasca falls, athabasca river, jasper national park, alberta, canada

Spray Borne

Spray borne of the pummeling
Where river falls upon the stone
Captures sun and holds it there
Delight in all the colours eyes can see
Arrayed in spectral artistry

Vital Tumult

Have you ever noticed
How exciting the tumult is
The uproar and confusion
How vital and present it feels

We battle through it
We quell the uproar
We resolve the confusion
We overcome

And it feels good
Even in the midst
Of the worst of times
These are the best of times

So I wonder how it is
We fail to acknowledge
Just how much
We love a good war

We are a species
Of adrenaline junkies
Bent on our own destruction
Because it makes us feel alive
