Cathedral Gorge State Park, Nevada, United States of America

Spelunking

Many, many times have I
Eschewed the paths in darkness
To take instead a path in light
My wisdom interceding

Until one day thought I
Perhaps the dark is just unknown
In need of light
And wanting an explorer

Probably Highway 6, Nevada, United States of America

Desert Roadtrip

I drive
Windows down
Aircon off
As much to feel the heat
As to conserve fuel

The heat
Which makes my skin
Crackle
Like the way the gravel and sand
Grate against the soles
Of my boots

Constant Change

I look over the mound
Of withering sandstone
Seeking frames for textures

A few grains of sand
Knocked loose by the breeze
Skitter down a miniature ravine
Knocking loose a few more
Along the way
All coming to rest
With so many other grains
Collected in a miniature valley
Slowly filling up
With grains of sand

Marvelling at Form

I marvel at the forms nature creates
The way time
Chance
And natural laws
Combine
To create articulate detail
Lines and textures of astounding complexity
And beauty
