Shadows in the Mist, Black Sand Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United State of America

Shadow in the Mist

Sometimes
I seem
Even to myself
As a shadow
In the mist

Irresolute
Unfulfilled
Incomplete

I remind myself
Step
Into my being
Out of the shadows
Beyond the mist

Steadfast
Manifest
Consummate

Earth and Sky on Fire, Midway Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States of America

Sky and Earth on Fire

The sky
And Earth
On fire

Like your touch
Trailing a line
Along my flesh

Golden Sunset, Midway Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States of America

Improbable Places

I love finding
Improbable places
Where my reason
And imagination
Are equally taxed

When the unimaginable
Becomes reasonable
Imagination soars

Vapour in the Sky, Black Sand Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States of America

Steam

Deep inside the Earth
Fire and water converge
Vapour in the sky

Mineral Spring, Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States of America

Life Springs

I learn to let life flow where it must
Knowing, like water, it can only go
Where the landscape allows it

Water will not run uphill
It will not run fast across a plain
It will not run at all
Where no rain falls

Comfortable Paths

Sometimes
It takes a lot of exploring
To find the comfortable path

But the comfortable path
Is not always the best path
Or the true path
So I try to remember
Keep exploring

Trickle

Give the barest trickle
Ample time to act
And it can build
Mountains

Sunset, Midway Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States of America

Dawn or Apocalypse

There are places in this world
Which take me back in time
Or is it forward?
I don’t know

Is this the dawn of time?
Or apocalypse?
The beginning of life?
Or the end of it?

Mineral Mound, Mammoth Geyser Basin, Yello

A matter of scale

A twig
Or a tree
Mountain
Or a mound

Were I to climb out
Upon this leafless bough
Would I be
Of Lilliputian dimension

Grey Mist Rising, Midway Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States of America

Misty Stillness

Sometimes, a haze descends
Obscuring all I see
I don’t mind

The misty grey
Becomes a canvas
On which I create worlds
