900 Seconds on Frank Island, Chesterman Beach, Tofino, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

Time ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #395

I often wonder

What the world might look like
If my heart beat in time
With a hummingbird’s wings

Or if one short breath
Flowed at the pace
Of a river carving a canyon

But I have only the time I’m given
An eternity to the hummingbird
An infinitesimal moment to the rock

Calm, Amphitrite Point, Wild Pacific Trail, Ucluelet, British Columbia, Canada

Storms

I came for the storms
To find only calm
But for the storms inside

i of the Storm

I come for the storms
To be confronted
By nature
At her extremes

To remind myself
Of things much more
Than my self

In my calm lagoon
Of self import

I am touched

By what others
Might call God

Though I admit
To no more knowledge
Than such is divine

With I
In my little i
Of the storm
That is existence

Embraced

I embrace myself
With the memory
Of your presence

Glorious Fail

Enthralled by failing sun
Or so some poets have defined
As if a star could somehow falter
In none but cataclysmic time

Composed in peace at daylight’s end
And with this thought remind
That failure rarely renders
With such glorious design

Called to the Sea, Amphitrite Point, Wild Pacific Trail, Ucluelet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

The Calling

The beacon calls for them
Those who seek the shore
Those who yearn for the sea

Cloudy, Cloudy Day

Cloudy, cloudy day
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a winter’s day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Horizon’s changing hue
Power in the waves come due
Dashing on the shore that’s you
In aqua on the broken rocky land

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your father’s deeds
And why you’d need to set me free
I would not listen, I did not know how
Perhaps I’ll listen now
