Dourest Grey, Britannia Beach, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Grace Which Offers Hope

Even in the dourest grey
There is a beauty
Calling me
Up to the light
It wrests a smile
From sadness
Grace
Which offers hope
In darkest place
There helps me cope
Then rise
Up into flight
On wing
Up to the clouds
And through them
Sun
Illuminate
The good
I soar
In peace
Tranquility

Sunset & Minaret

Sunset and minaret
What more need be said
But for the hundreds who
Meander through
The tranquil peace
This evening grace
Within the shadow of
Perfection

River ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #75

Ganga falls from Himalaya highs
To lap at feet
On sandy shore
In Rishikesh
Where it and I
Find some small tranquility
In the turmoil
Of inexorable change

Ganga, take me down
Down to distant sea
Where I become the drop
Which is, itself, the sea
And learn eternal peace
In oneness with the One

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

Winter Dream, River of Golden Dreams, Meadow Park, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada

Winter Dreaming

Revelling on Golden Dreams
Where languid winter river flows
Beneath soft flakes fluttering
Alighting like sweet Angel’s down
Upon needled bough and barren branch
Or cloak the water where it’s still

Charcoal and Smudge

The clouds
Descended like a cloak
Over the mountains

The light
Flat as the calm sea
And equally tranquil

A scene
Rendered entirely in charcoal and smudge
But for a band of cottony hanging fog

Fairview Road, Cawston, British Columbia Canada

Through the Backcountry

A gentle road
Through the backcountry
Of unexplored territory
Brings me tranquility
And inexpressible pleasure

Tranquility ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #57

I find tranquility
In the simplest things

Nature’s harmony
Of shade and tone and texture
The way the gull finds the air
Which lifts him into the sky
The foamy leading edge
Of the wave lapping at my feet
Soft light through a rain-spattered window
With a good book and a cozy couch

Poetry by Patrick JenningsAug 27, 20161:39 pm

Tranquility

I have learned
There is peace to be had
Tranquility
In any given moment

I close my eyes
Breathe, consciously
And bring up an image
Of tranquility

A memory
A fantasy
A painting
A scene

Hold that in my mind

Breathing in
Breathing out
