Homeward Bound

There comes a point
In every journey
At which I’ve turned
For home

No more forward looking
No more anticipation
But for the threshold
And my own bed

Grappling with Infinity

When I want to grapple with infinity
I go to the ocean
And imagine an endless sea
Of unfathomable depth
Beneath a boundless sky

Alcatraz

From the tower
I frame in the traffic circle
My pickup truck at the bottom
Holding Alcatraz in the bay
Looking so peaceful

Before the Sun

Before the sun

Unsaturated pastels
Hushed details
Settled sea
Slumbering land
Quiet calm

An infinite jest

Sometimes life seems an infinite jest

How crazy it is
This point of consciousness
Travelling through space and time
On a ship of meat and bone

Slate

In a world the tone of slate
I seek beauty in
Texture
Tone
The interplay of shadow and highlight
In the quality and dynamic
Of shape, form and composition

The Sundeck at the Edge of the World

Nothing reminds me better
How little most of it matters
Than a chair like this
In a place like this

Sunset, English Bay from Stanley Park Seawall, Vancouver, British Columbia

A place prone to moodiness

This is a place prone to moodiness
Layers deep
Dark and shadowed
Cloud and fog dog mountains and horizon
A wide water in a landlocked sea
Its calm belies the unsettled air
It is, always, it seems
In a state of potent pause
