The Last Throes of Daylight, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

The Final Throes of Daylight

In this oncoming night
When the sea seems
As big as the sky
And the absent sun
Has set the horizon
On fire

I think of you
The final throes of our daylight
Hoping you’ll return
From the long, dark night
With the promise
Of a new sun
Rising

People ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #119

Landscapes, abstracts and architecture, a world of line and form, texture and atmospheric mood. A vision intended to evoke sensations, even emotions in the viewer, especially wonder, awe and appreciation of beauty. Camera in hand, this is the vision I seek to express through the lens.

Empty Bench

Last of the colour clings
Pool of yellow below
The bench, empty

Walking past
Eyes turned away

She would never sit there again

Not without him

Sunset Halo, Strait of Georgia, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

The Line of Her Departure

The sun skips off the ocean
As if patinaed brass

Sun ring complementing
The line of her departure

In retreat she makes
Some small rippling wake

Much like the sun
As it dips below horizon

The world left behind
Settles into darkness

Bald Eagle Sunset, Wild Pacific Trail, Ucluelet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

Sunset Watch

I watch over you
In the darkest night
Until the sunrise

And when the darkness
Comes again

There am I

A beacon for you
To find your way

For you are the light
Which made my own life
Bright as a beacon

Beyond Horizon's Edge, Amphitrite Lighthouse, Wild Pacific Trail, Ucluelet, British Columbia Canada

Beyond the Edge

She came here, beyond the edge, because she was beyond the edge. Here, she could look straight into the tumult, because it was not her tumult, not her upheavals, not her crashing into the walls. It was not her tragedies.

The Colour Fading, Eastside Road, Okanagan Lake, Vernon, British Columbia, Canada

The Sails Long Furled

In the calm
In the calm
In the gentle calm
With the sun now gone
And the colour fading

I trace the line
In reflecting mind
From a day long past
One last empty kiss
The sails long furled
On a love at rest

I trace the line
Of her long wet tear
A single note
One regretful smear
Not for promise lost
But what never was

I’d held too long
To the love she gave
Held her close
Held her heart
Knowing all too well
Love went just one way

Mountain Village, Himalayan Foothills, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India

Insight and Chai

It’s these places
In the hills
The remote places
Small communities
Mostly self sufficient
Where the ubiquitous cell phone
Has no power
Connected to the world
By a narrow road

It’s these places
Where we are most
Who we are

Sky Becomes the Land, Porteau Cove, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Intertwined ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #69

Where the clouds intertwine
With the mountains
And the trees
Until the sky becomes
Part of the land
Distinct but inseparable

Reminds me how
Your love for me
Becomes a part of me
And my love for you
Becomes a part of you

Laksa

In the left hand
Chopsticks

Spicy hot
Hot hot
Curry Laksa

Tea with milk
Black black tea
Condensed milk
Sweet Hot
And thick
