Pacific Ocean

dip in the ocean

expansive view, open heart

trust in abundance

 Nanaimo, BC

Jelly Fish

shape-shifter adapts

camouflaged, clear, clings to life 

survives in pretence 

 

Wild

rooting through gravel

dispensing bursts of good cheer

life in a twinkle

 

Lily Pads

lush, core curled within, 

closeness in a mess of leaves 

scattered buds of joy

 

Pampas Grass

fluffy reeds rise tall

displaced, prized in foreign soil

plumes reaching the sky

 

Cobalt Sun

random art radiates

brilliance in a cobalt sun

alters silver wit

 

Great Blue Heron

light legs set for flight

in a domain blue on green

still, waiting for prey

 

Squirrel

pausing on the rock

savouring foraged nibbles

hard work never ends

 

Poppies

scarlet splashes pulse

their short stories to cherish

now, in the moment
