On a day
Of unremitting grey
I find a moment
Of pure passion
And joy
Of unremitting grey
I find a moment
Of pure passion
And joy

Rolling onto Shore
The swells roll in
An ever presence
Like you my friend
Always there to come to me
Even when I turn away
An ever presence
Like you my friend
Always there to come to me
Even when I turn away
Perhaps I am your shore
The solid ground
You’ll always find
Always there to welcome you
Even if I’ve turned away
Lockdown
Upon the rocky shore I stand
Curvature of Earth pronounced
By band of amber sky beyond
Horizon’s edge I cannot reach
Nor sail for regions yet unseen
Confined am I to stony beach
And yet my beating heart’s content
Relies on dreams which circumvent
The confines of this covenant

Worlds I Create
I create these worlds
Of personal sanctuary
A beauty and calm
Cloaking distress and fear
Palaces of chilling warmth
An argument with reality
Which cannot be won
Of personal sanctuary
A beauty and calm
Cloaking distress and fear
Palaces of chilling warmth
An argument with reality
Which cannot be won
I remind myself
The world of distress and fear
Is also a creation of mine
The cloak only gives it power
The palace of true warmth
Is the light of my own heart
Which cannot be sundered
Narrow Passage
Narrow passage
Some small hopeful light beyond
Fades on toward the night
Some small hopeful light beyond
Fades on toward the night
Though wide the sea
Destination obscured
Departure long overdue
From specious sanctuary
Where murk grows ever deeper
Even as hopeful light diminishes
Beyond the narrow passage
Start the engine
Provisioned stores and buttressed heart
Set rudder’s course through narrow passage
Bound for hopeful light beyond
Nothing ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #231
Soft light and silhouettes
Ambers and muted blues
Islands adrift in calm seas
Ambers and muted blues
Islands adrift in calm seas
And I in deep repose
Enjoy the gentlest of scenes
Bask in this moment of succulent nothings
Molten Star
Molten star upon horizon
Lava flows across the sea
Saviour’s beacon
Rendered feeble
Until the night
Calls out to me
Lava flows across the sea
Saviour’s beacon
Rendered feeble
Until the night
Calls out to me
The Hour of Cobalt and Indigo
This is the time of peace
The hour of cobalt and indigo
After the last glory seeker
Abandons the sunless horizon
Before the advancing darkness
The hour of cobalt and indigo
After the last glory seeker
Abandons the sunless horizon
Before the advancing darkness
I find a beauty here
More remarkable
Than fading orbs
Or heated tones
Here in my solitude
Borne of a love
For icy blues
The Earth’s gentle sigh
As it closes its eyes
For the brief oblivion of slumber
Turn, Turn, Turn
A darkling blue
Precedes the night
One small beacon
Becomes the light
Where soon to be
A blackened world
But for the stars
A trillion suns
Turn on a wheel
Just like this little one
Precedes the night
One small beacon
Becomes the light
Where soon to be
A blackened world
But for the stars
A trillion suns
Turn on a wheel
Just like this little one
A Pause for a Moment Without Purpose
Sun coyly peeks
From cloudy perch
At one who skips
Across the rocks
Careful not to run afoul
Of gentle breakers
Or their spray
From cloudy perch
At one who skips
Across the rocks
Careful not to run afoul
Of gentle breakers
Or their spray
Gulls on wing
Horizon bound
Their cries
An ever-fading skree
Which mocks the beauty
Of their flight
And here am I
On blackened shore
Which rose from magma’s
Golden glow
Now in reverse
The waning sky
Will soon enough
Become the night
