Bonding

luminous bonding

warmth edged with gossamer frills 

thoughts spun with the light

 

Purity

pure, sentient offering

for the blind, corrupt of heart

to heal, bud, unfurl

 

Crowding

don't crowd me, they say

yet thrive on proximity

blooming then wilting

 

Nest in Bird

bird nesting in bird

soft straw meshed with cold metal 

comfort in hard case

Sculpture by Amy Switzer 

Butterfly Home Garden, Humber Bay Shores East

One among a flock of welded steel ravens titled Guardians

 

Patterns

man's patterned designs

slashed with bold shadows

intricate ensemble

 

Words on Water

 silence reflects words

when the mind, eyes, heart connect

hear the other's soul

At the Aga Khan Museum

Quote from Rumi: There is a voice that does not use words. Listen

Brilliant sculpture by Matt Donovan and Hallie Siegel

Writers' Tears

had a sip of fire

not burnt, blasted by the whiff

only writer's hell

I hardly drink and this is not to encourage writers to do so.

I was at a reading, and this label triggered my 

empathetic response.

 

Under the Bridge

forest under bridge

vehicles roar, pound above

darkened walk unwind

 

Art by Humber River

art against nature

challenges conformity

bares ingenuity
