Trees on rocks

healthy growth from rocks

face the vast lake with calm, hope

positivity

 Westwood Lake, Nanaimo, BC

Walk in the forest

humid scent of wood

forest bath of body, mind

blurring woes, anguish

 

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

 

Coral Poppy

buds waiting to bloom

covet petals spread open

bask in sun, self-love 

 

 

Emerald Garden

vines wrap around you

conjure emerald garden

blind facts with fiction

Will the creepers die

let the body breathe free or

choke health, force decay

I in the sky

solitary i

candle light in  ruby sky

glows and dies each night

Sunset at Port Albert Beach

 

Sundown

When you disappear

shrouded in mysterious clouds 

you are still present 

 

Sunset

veils of cloud hover

fireball sinks into darkness

renewed the next day

 

Poster Bride

 on a wall, she sits

wondering, waiting, wistful

stuck, until she's torn

Photo of a store wall on St. Clair West

Sundial

truth kept on dial

shadows point to reality

revealed with contrast

Rock Balancing

they rise under stress

prone to fall at a slight touch

yet appear steady

 

Taller

dominant, forceful

shading the sibling's progress 

yet close, protective
