Emergency Ferry Terminal, Porteau Cove Provincial Park, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Emergency Use Only

The rain came hard
The mountains came down

In torrents
Of mud
And rock
And trees

Wiping away bridges
Wiping away people

The road broke down
So access broke down

Halo

Into the ferocious wind
She stood strong
Fierce and formidable
Hair rippling

Backlit golden strands
Like the halo
Of an angel
Bent on justice

Moon Over Bowen, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Tides

I am a creature
Of my own thoughts
Of my own will
Of my own choice

Or so I think

Reminded by
The tides of seas
The tides of light
As moon circles I
As I circle sun

Not choice
Nor fate
All that is
Circles round
In ebb and flood

Crescent Moon and Evening Star, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Moments Such as This

It is difficult enough
To imagine the infinity
Of space and time
Without trying
To comprehend the immensity
Of my own existence
In just this finite moment

But moments such as this
Fuel my imagination
And stoke my passion
For contemplation

Sunset, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Some Distant Sunset

The heat
Of some distant sunset
Ignites steel rails
Red and yellow hot

While light breezes
Shimmer on the sea
Settling snow to Earth
From branch and bough
Where it once rested

A Sheen Below, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, From Horseshoe Bay, British Columbia, Canada

I Find My Way

The sheen below reflects
The snowcapped peaks far above
Unseen beyond low hanging cloud
While the little tug
She trundles cross the sound
Inbound from points unknown

In this world am I unbound
Softer than the lazy breeze
Which barely ripples cross the sea
Unattached to weighty thoughts
Adrift, perhaps, some might say
Yet guided by the tidal flows

I find my way

River Dream, Cheakamus River, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

River Dreams

In a land made white
By winterfall
A river blue
Runs right through

And carries dreams
From valleys high
They tumble down
Right by my side

And gather in
The pools below
So deep and cold
In eddies slow

Reflections

Until my mind
Is clear, calm and still
I will always be lost
In my reflections

Free as a Gull, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, Porteau Cove, British Columbia, Canada

Where the Land Meets the Sky

Where the land meets the sky
Between the heavens and the sea
I fly free as a gull
On the shifting breeze

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
