Rain on lotus pad
Pitter-patter droplets caught
Little waterfall

Fractured Flash
I pan the camera
180 degrees
Seawall to Seawall
From Lions Gate span
Into Eastern sun
Morning fog
Laying low
180 degrees
Seawall to Seawall
From Lions Gate span
Into Eastern sun
Morning fog
Laying low
Three times
A pair of runners
Find the frame
One time coming
One time going
And one time
In a fractured flash
As they pass before me
Earth
Every now and again
Landscape and sky
Conspire to remind
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
Sunrise ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #79
Blue on blue
On blue on blue
Morning sun
Peeks on through
The clouds on high
The smoke below
But in my heart
The golden band
Offsets the black
Below the blue
This light which cuts
And penetrates
Ennobles sky
With amber hues
A crown upon
These broody blues
I rise into
New light of day
Ganga Calm
Travelling a land
Of extremes in high contrast
Of crowded bustle
Brown noise and car horns
Confined in concrete chasms
With slivers of sky
Of extremes in high contrast
Of crowded bustle
Brown noise and car horns
Confined in concrete chasms
With slivers of sky
I arrive in Rishikesh
Where the Ganga
Gently exits
The Himalaya
Heave a sigh
Breathe deeply
And collect myself
On the riverbank
Smoke
The wan red sun
Rises into a dull amber sky
Rises into a dull amber sky
Beautiful
Were it a morning mist
Or a shroud of fog
Pierced by morning sun
But smoke permeates the atmosphere
Even the train compartment
In which I ride
With every breath
Smoke
Vancouver
It is, after all
Just a small collection of buildings
Snuggled up to a forest
Surrounded by water
In the shadow of mountains
Just a small collection of buildings
Snuggled up to a forest
Surrounded by water
In the shadow of mountains
Dominated by nature
Which is, of course
Its greatest appeal
Angles and Hard Lines
I have made myself
A collection of angles and hard lines
A manifestation of steely pride
A collection of angles and hard lines
A manifestation of steely pride
Still the shadow of nature
Falls upon me
With her supple forms
Her irregular grace
So I quiet the urge for being
Let her sunshine warm me
And become the bough
Blowing in the wind
Some Distant Sunset
The heat
Of some distant sunset
Ignites steel rails
Red and yellow hot
Of some distant sunset
Ignites steel rails
Red and yellow hot
While light breezes
Shimmer on the sea
Settling snow to Earth
From branch and bough
Where it once rested
Tenuous ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #70
I walk the tenuous path
Connecting here and now to other
Mindful of the tides
And time
Knowing
Not all explorations bear fruit
So I plan my return
With equal care
Connecting here and now to other
Mindful of the tides
And time
Knowing
Not all explorations bear fruit
So I plan my return
With equal care
Moving forward, sometimes
Requires stepping backward
To reconnoitre
To reconsider
To recenter on the here and now
So the paths to possible others
May emerge
