Epic ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #149

Even on the gloomiest days
The world can seem
Simply epic

If I choose to look for it

And so can I

Gesture ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #148

One need not read nor write
Nor even understand
A single word here spoken
To know the story
In the gestures
A narrative
As old as time

Organic ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #147

Nature draws her lines
In chaos and complexity
Mathematics and some chemistry
Laws of physics yet unbroken
By laws of beauty she has written

Laws which I do well to heed
If my art is to succeed
Nature I do not exploit you
Nor wrest the brushes from your hand
It’s not my mind to alter your decision
But offer you my humble vision

Just a Hint of Blue, Clouds and Sky, Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada

Clouds ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #146

In the brooding atmosphere
Of patterns woefully disturbed
I seek glimmers of possibility
I optimistically call

Hope

Peaks ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #145

I rise up
Above it all
See the world
Beyond the peaks
Touch the sky
Breathe in space
Feel the Earth
Beneath my feet
Await the stars
Infinity

Existence set
In time and place
Yet all at once
I’m every where
I’m every thing
I’m not at all

To be
And not
To be

Focus ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #144

Sometimes
It’s hard to stay focused
To capture all the details
To see the whole picture

Still
I see enough
To know the beauty
Of a moment

Big ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #143

Sometimes

I’m confronted with it
So big
So far to go

So little time
How will I explore it all
How will I get there

A step
At a
Time

I don’t know
Just how far
That will take me

Whether
It will be
To the end

So best
To not
Stand still

Jessie, Bon's Off Broadway, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Standout ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #142

She struggled a little
Sometimes
To be noticed

To stand out
From the cacophony
Of life around her

But she knew
Who she was
And what she could do

And if others
Couldn’t see her
That was their problem

Three ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #141

Just the three of us
Spirit, mind and body
On a journey through
Space, time and possibility

Storms ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #140

Beyond such verdant corridor
A cacophony of mayhem
Though stride I must
Into the storm
Carry with me
Vibrant life
If only as
A notion
Which in turn
Will carry me
Beyond the gathering
Commotion
