Power snakes through epochs
Scale lost in time and space

Tag: wind
Steady in the Wind
I recall the wind
Insistent
Pummeling
Leaning into it
Just to stand upright
Insistent
Pummeling
Leaning into it
Just to stand upright
I recall the sun
Hard
And hot
Burning through
The cold air coursing
I recall the sea
Singing
Its white noise crescendo
The roar
Of a planet alive
I recall this moment
Blissfully
Unattached
Firmly rooted to ground
In the grip of experience
Invisible Wind
A cloudless sky
An invisible wind
But for the snow
Dragged over the peaks
An invisible wind
But for the snow
Dragged over the peaks
A roiling plume
Like my mind
As I’m buffeted
Not so steadfast
As the rocky peaks
Prevailing Winds
So goes the wind
So goes nature
So goes nature
Raincoast
On a dour grey day
In this ashen light
Spectacular seems
Not to apply
In this ashen light
Spectacular seems
Not to apply
And yet…
Above the boughs
Perched on rocky cliff
Perturbed sea
Sullen clouds
Mountains from sea through sky
Into the Wind
Buffeted
But unharmed
With closed eyes
Quiet mind
Feel the wind
But unharmed
With closed eyes
Quiet mind
Feel the wind
Ruffled and
Unsteadied
Solid stance
Discovered
Stronger now
Balance found
Face the wind
Face the rush
Of events
Step forward
Wind
The wind
It shakes me up
It shakes me down
I’ve been standing
In the still air
Far too long
I need
To get
Ruffled
Whitecaps & Sea Mist
A vicious wind blows
Down the sound
Stripping the heat
From my hands
From my face
Kicking up whitecaps
Stealing their spray
Making a misty glow
To cradle Islands
And mountains
On a cold winter day
Down the sound
Stripping the heat
From my hands
From my face
Kicking up whitecaps
Stealing their spray
Making a misty glow
To cradle Islands
And mountains
On a cold winter day
Whistler and Alta
The winter wind
Whisks down the valley
Holding the ice at bay
Whisks down the valley
Holding the ice at bay
But the ducks
Won’t have much longer
To paddle in open water

Turned to it
Faced head on
Arms out wide
As if wings
Unfettered by Earth
