Under A Wan Sun

On a cool day
Under a wan sun
Sintering through the cloud
Throwing speculars here
A weak shadow there

A young man throws sticks to his dog
Which gleefully, gaspingly
Retrieves them

Discovering the Unexpected

I love discovering the unexpected
Love finding my way into a newness
I had never imagined before

I love it so much
I tend to find it
Where others see only the everyday
Only the expected

Moral Victories

Moral victories
Ring hollow
In every context
But imagination

Visiting an ant’s world

I step up to the rim
Take out the camera
And begin to snap
Feverishly
In the failing sunlight

When it’s no longer possible
To get an image
With a hand-held camera
I sit down
And bask in the immensity

The smoke of a distant fire

The smoke of a distant forest
Set alight by a careless ember
Saturates the atmosphere
Makes it heavy
Burdensome
Diminishing the scale
Of Nature’s triumph

Become a beacon in the dark

I try to imagine us
Each and every one
A point light of spirit
In our bodies manifest

Most drawn to center
Where all of us are one
But many lost in darkness
To drift beyond the crest

Beautiful & Alien

Sometimes I can’t recognize
The Earth I’m walking on
Beautiful and alien

Forms and lines
With seeming guile
Lead my eye
On paths unknown

Every day a victory

Every day a victory
When before the dawn

I rise from sleep
To greet the sun
With song and peace

Then in its light
Join reverie
For life and love
And Harmony

Gateway ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #11

On the other side
The great beyond
Beckons with
Adventure’s promise

In the heat

Like a weight
Upon my skull
The sun bears down
As heat drifts up
From dusty ground

I wonder
At the tenacity
Of living things
And marvel at the beauty
Death sometimes brings
