Stillness
Is a peace
I’ve sought
And known
But I’ve known
No peace greater
Than the joy of
Flight
In motion
There is
Stillness

Nature’s Sutra
rain falls
pittering the leaves
pattering the earth
nature’s sutra
gently chanted
outside my window
inside
warm
and calm
quiet mind
full heart
present in the moment
Patience and Peace
I remind myself
Time and water
Carved this canyon
From solid rock
Time and water
Carved this canyon
From solid rock
Though patience
And softness
Cannot resolve
Every problem
The peace flowing
From their practice
Bears a reward
Of its own
As I watch
The sun set
Upon the stone
The river cut
Weekends
Sail the slate sea
On friendly breeze
Which powers me
On friendly breeze
Which powers me
Hold the tiller fast
As grey gulls surf
The unseen wave
Leeward of the mast
And I at peace
In my dead reckoning
Far between the harbours
Of duty and burden
Riding the tide of release
Mouse & Cat
It’s cat and mouse
The endless game
Which we all play
Except the days
The cat’s away
When’s not the same
Around the house
The endless game
Which we all play
Except the days
The cat’s away
When’s not the same
Around the house
Now should cat stay
Here on this day
Might we not pray
The time has come
For mouse and cat
To mellow some
And end this spat
Nothing ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #231
Soft light and silhouettes
Ambers and muted blues
Islands adrift in calm seas
Ambers and muted blues
Islands adrift in calm seas
And I in deep repose
Enjoy the gentlest of scenes
Bask in this moment of succulent nothings
Pastel Twilight
Day passes into pastel twilight
Atmospheric soothing sigh
Let the night come
Sonorous repose
Eyes closed
Sleepy
Sleep
Atmospheric soothing sigh
Let the night come
Sonorous repose
Eyes closed
Sleepy
Sleep
Softened Stone
Sweeping curves
And cylinders
I am not conscious
How calming
Is the round
Until I work
With the photographs
And cylinders
I am not conscious
How calming
Is the round
Until I work
With the photographs
In a complex
Of rectangle and square
Though rich with gardens
Water flowing through fountains
This space of rounded stone
Softened only by circular curves
Is the place of peace for me
Solitary Peace
In the wee hours
Sun barely risen
From its comforter
And pillows
Sun barely risen
From its comforter
And pillows
The beach to myself
My thoughts to myself
Long moments of solitary reflections
But for the wind whisking them off
And the surf drowning them out
So instead a solitary peace
Peace & Paroxysm
The day ends
Vivid paroxysm of colour
Proximate calm of solitude
Vivid paroxysm of colour
Proximate calm of solitude
Peace besets me
In this dwindling hour of daylight
Content with the cool darkness to come
