Woman at Sea

She looks for answers

water and trees speak of trust

love, forgiveness, growth

 

Promontory

it juts on the lake

a shark pushing boundaries

with us on its back

Waves

 

they swell and splash along the pebbly beach

keep unfurling, relentless, rhythmic

whispers from a distant ocean

my love by my side, his eyes chartreuse

his touch, warm cordial through the plague

his lips ... ah smooth intense wine

we hear music in the rush of waves

soak up the scent of aquamarine mist 

hold eternity in the moment 

Romance at Dusk

They snuggle closer

under the warm sheets of dusk

love blooming on ice

 

Humber Bay Arch

arch rises past trees

artful steel jostles with

sun-speckled buildings

 

Twilight

twilight's muted tones

sad, mournful, evanescent

brushed with sentient rose

 

Bridge

We bridge stone bearings

step from discord towards growth

water under us

 

Lake, Skyline and Mound

placid, the lake flows

between skyline and stone mound

waves to nodding tree

 

Light

Light hugs the cold stones

turns grey to gold, brightens up

tangled reflections

 

Ducks on ice

not on sunny side

perched on winter's glacial patch

the clan's warmth enough
