There are places
I’ll remember
All my life
I’ll remember
All my life
Ever changing
Never changing
Just like me

Tranquility ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #57
I find tranquility
In the simplest things
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
Shadows of Time
Shadows of time
Moments passed
Left to memories
In fading ink
Moments passed
Left to memories
In fading ink
Shadow event
Captured in light
Held in coloured silver
On fading film
Waves
Life comes at me in waves
Rolling in
Crashing down
Leaving me sputtering
Gasping
Rolling in
Crashing down
Leaving me sputtering
Gasping
Though…
Every now and again
I catch one
A long glorious ride
Exhilaration
Exultation
Delightful experience
All the way to shore
Greys and Greens
This misty shore
Calls to me
Greys and greens
The susurro
Of waves on sand
The whispered wind
In long stemmed grass
Relieve me from
Hard lines and steel
Harsh words and sound
My urban stress
Calls to me
Greys and greens
The susurro
Of waves on sand
The whispered wind
In long stemmed grass
Relieve me from
Hard lines and steel
Harsh words and sound
My urban stress
Was there life before life?
I love the places which transport me
Back to a time
When all there was
Was rock
And gas
And water
Back to a time
When all there was
Was rock
And gas
And water
A time before anything lived
And the closest thing to life
Were molecules
Which looked like
The kinda things
You built life with
Shrouded in Fog
This rocky land
This forlorn place
This world in
Shrouded grey
This forlorn place
This world in
Shrouded grey
Beyond the straight
A farther shore
Receding
In the mist
Bridges
There is a bridge
From here to anywhere
Though oft I cross
In naught but metaphor
From here to anywhere
Though oft I cross
In naught but metaphor
Still, if I land
On farther shores
Though metaphor
They be
Desert Snow
This snowy shroud
On the sand
This crystal air
In my lungs
This layered cloud
Filters sun
This pristine world
Silent land
On the sand
This crystal air
In my lungs
This layered cloud
Filters sun
This pristine world
Silent land
I feel my heart
Thrum in my chest
I feel the heat
Within my soul
I feel the beat
Of wordless rhyme
I am complete
Connected time
This Wintry Road
This wintry road I travel by
Takes me through a country wide
Feathered here and there with buttes
Which break the plain to just one side
Takes me through a country wide
Feathered here and there with buttes
Which break the plain to just one side
A single car approaches me
Then whistles by
The last I’ll see
Before sky fades and daylight flies
