Moonset Over Blackcomb, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada

Moon ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #230

In the cold quiet
Of a winter night
Me and the Moon
We have a chatter

Chunky frozen snow
Crunches underfoot
Shhhh, hisses the Moon

Be still
Listen

This I do

But all I hear is the Moon
Simmering on the snow peaks

Shhhh, Say I
To the full flood moon
Which does not know chagrin

Ahh, my friend
Replies the Moon
Would you have heard my sizzle
Had you never listened?

Moon and Shadows, Davis Bay Pier, Sechelt, British Columbia, Canada

Moon & Shadow

In the warmth of a summer night
We picnic on the pier
A gathering of family and friends
Me, set apart, just pondering

We are all just shadows
In the moonlight
Beneath a darkening sky
Of stars and cloud

All in motion, even I
In this moment fixed in time
Which has no memory
Or destiny

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

Obscured Crescent

In the settling darkness
I seek something to photograph
Anything to set words on a course

Out of inspiration
Time and photographs exhausted
Post due on the morrow

At a favourite pull-out
Setting up sticks and cam
While the light fails

Utterly

Full Moon, Reef Point, Ucluelet, British Columbia, Canada

Moon ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #60

Like the moon moves the ocean
Like petals draw the bee
Like dawn wakes the songbird
Your love’s compelling me

Stars and the Moon, Painted Vinyl Floor, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

On Stars and Moons

I lie back upon the grass
Beneath a clear night sky
Wond’ring at the vastness

In a tiny dot
Of twinkling light
A hundred billion stars reside

The moon slides by
Smiling at me

Full and proud
Chest puffed out

A tiny ball of dust and rock

Wintry Bare Branches, Langley, British Columbia, Canada

Beneath the Perfect Beauty of it All

Beneath my favourite tree
In my favourite spot
On a warm, sunny Sunday
Breeze tickling the leaves
Rippling the glassy lake
Birdsong
And the smell
Of freshly mown grass

The Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California, United States of America.

Moonrise Over San Francisco

I love the way
A daylight moon
Reminds me

There are stars
Beyond blue sky
Uncountable stars

And planets circling
Most of them, and
Some with moons like ours

The Moon Comes Calling

Late afternoon
On a cold, crisp Colorado day
The moon comes calling
Wrapped in azure sky
