Serenity, Dickson Falls, Fundy National Park, New Brunswick, Canada

Serenity Amongst the Pitfalls

Though journeys be fraught
With pitfalls and wanderings
Know the beauty of the path

That the pitfalls and wanderings
Make the path beautiful

That serenity finds its moments

Falls Away, Hell's Kitchen, Dickson Falls Trail, Fundy National Park, New Brunswick, Canada

Falling Away

White water falls away
A stream of sibilance
Embraced in verdance

Here I, find peace in this day
Even as the rain
Drizzles through the canopy

Embraced in patterns of nature
I dismantle patterns of self
Trouble falls away

Beacon Amid the Daisies, Quaco Head Lighthouse, St. Martins, New Brunswick, Canada

On Beacons and Buttercups

Diffuse light in dispersing fog
Daisies, clover and buttercups
Stretch into morning
Pastel whispers from daylight skies

Beacon’s warning
Smothered by the mist

So she howls
Into unknowable voids
Lest any run astray
To foul upon the stone
This wall between
The land and sea

While daisies, clover and buttercups
Tremble in the breeze

A Whisper in the Silence, Quaco Head Lighthouse, St. Martins, New Brunswick, Canada

Song to Silence

I wake in the mornings
Mind always in a foggy mist
To find, always
Like a whisper in the silence
Rising to become song
You are there

Nothing so rouses
My faded spirit
As your voice of grace
And compassion
Singing love to this soul
That’s lived in silence
