Pacific Coast Highway, Near Cannon Beach, Oregon, United States of America

Without Black or White

On a day
Without black or white
Of greys and muted greens
An uncertain horizon
Haze obscuring

I realize
The beauty that is the world
The perfection that it is to live
Even without clarity
Certainty or conviction

Life Adapts

Life adapts
To the harshest conditions
Some life even thrives there

Humans evolved
The mind to identify
The harshest conditions

Tug & Three Barges

In the tranquility
Of twilight
A tugboat
Tows three barges

From I know not where
To I know not where
And none of that matters

Connection ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #30

Ocean waves
Setting sun
Endless sand
Onshore breeze

Connecting me
To all that is
To all I need

Colour Dance

I love
The colours
Of the sky

The way they dance
Into the day
Lively and so cheerful

The Calm After

As the calm dusk
Settles in
After

The sky breaks through
Promising a better day
Tomorrow

Chesterman Beach ~ Pix to Words & Song

I captured several dozen images from Chesterman Beach, and they have proven a great source of inspiration for poems and stories, a series from which I share five examples here

Beach sand and waves, Chesterman Beach, Tofino, British Columbia, Canada

Harmony

I wonder at the patterns in the sand
How they got there
The intricate harmonies of line and shape
What could create such beauty?

Then the wave comes
And I wonder anew
At the interplay of moving water and sand
The rivulets and eddies and smaller waves

Waves ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #27

I watch the flow of time
The rise and ebb of civilizations
Like waves rolling up
On a long, shallow beach

Each wave believing
It will roll on forever

Measuring Time

I measure time
Not in terms of history
But by how much
I have left to do
