Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, United States of America

A world of my own making

I live in a world of exquisite beauty
Fantastical in form
Vibrant in colour
A sensual delight
Of textures
Rough and smooth

I live in a world
Of song and voice
Of love and wisdom

Monument Valley Navajo Park, Arizona, United States of America

Time walked here

Time walked here
Aeons ago
Leaving its footprints
On the landscape

Not to become
Icons of Hollywood
But to impress upon the inhabitants
Where the true source
Can be found

Cathedral Gorge State Park, Nevada, United States of America

Constant Change

I look over the mound
Of withering sandstone
Seeking frames for textures

A few grains of sand
Knocked loose by the breeze
Skitter down a miniature ravine
Knocking loose a few more
Along the way
All coming to rest
With so many other grains
Collected in a miniature valley
Slowly filling up
With grains of sand

Yosemite Mist, Yosemite National Park, California, United States of America

Clarity in the Mist

I cannot, always
See all I want to see
Know all I want to know

But I am learning
To see beauty
In all that I can see

No mere recorder this

Light falls
On an electric canvas
Strokes from a brush
Made of glass

Interpretations
Of a world made
From highlights
And shadows
Rendering texture
And line

I can see for miles

Sometimes
I can see for miles and miles
But still have no clue
Where the road will take me

Poetry by Patrick JenningsNov 26, 20157:00 am

Aperture

An aperture always defines
The world within its frame
By what it includes
By what it excludes
By the format of its frame
By the point of view
By the tones it renders
By the subject it chooses

The greatest doings of men

I gaze across the chasm,
Marvelling at craftsmanship
At sheer force of will
The artistry and ingenuity of human beings
Seeking to make the world
A little better for themselves
A little more comfortable
A little more secure

Perhaps

A little more beautiful.
