Lavender on Broken Glass

Soft and sharp
Lavender petals fall
On broken glass

So is the acceptance
Of our sad reckoning

Embraced in tears

Dawn Nears, Tantalus Lookout, Sea to Sky Highway, Tantalus Range, British Columbia, Canada

Upon the Sigh

Dawn already
Come and gone
First sun reflects
From wintry throne
Beneath the glow
Of cloudless sky

I hold my grief
In chill repose
The magic light
Has challenged woes
Soon comes the smile
Upon the sigh

Disorder in the Wake, Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo Ferry, Georgia Strait, British Columbia, Canada

The Circle

Beginning and ending
Juxtaposed

Or not

One leads always
To the other

Ferry and Mount Baker, Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo Ferry, Strait of Georgia, British Columbia, Canada II

I Wipe Them Away

We make time across the Strait
The ferry carries me
From all that I’ve known
To I know not where

Yet

But that matters not
The where is not there
I’ve left there behind
Moved on

Forward?

Who knows
Not I
Just an hour gone
And I miss parts of it

Already

Like a child’s stuffed toy
Or her comfort blanket
The woman no longer needs
Nostalgia alone soothes adult vulnerability

A bit

I hope I’ve left
All such things
To the past
They have earned

Like tears

That have fallen
Already forgotten
But for the trails
Dried on my cheek

I wipe them away

Ferry and Mount Baker, Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo Ferry, Strait of Georgia, British Columbia, Canada

Broken

Under a blood red sky
A metaphor
A cliché
I cannot resist

Blood red it is
And so too
This life journey

Heart broken
Love rent

By the loss of one

Outbound Sunrise, Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo Ferry, Strait of Georgia, British Columbia, Canada

Beginnings? ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #291

Outbound and sunrise
Clichés of new beginnings
I remain unchanged

Monkey & Red Fort Sunrise, Hotel Tara Place, Chandni Chowk, New Delhi, India

Penultimate Sunrise in the Big Smoke

It was the last full day in India. The smoke had been chokingly thick for the entire month I’d spent in the north, and Delhi hadn’t even been the worst of it. Still, I’d found a decent rate at a decent hotel (some small comfort in exchange for the respiratory distress) on the edge of Old Delhi’s fantastical Chandni Chowk markets for the final days before my flight home.
