Standing on the Cliff

October 5, 2015 by Dale Leave a Comment

Standing on a Cliff a boundary against oblivion blue pulls me away from the gold of your heart. Standing on a Ledge time opens like earthquake a chasm to infinity seconds away from your heart. Standing on the Edge the earth disintegrates beneath me bedrock turns to sand clinging, falling away from your heart. In…

A Changing Shield

September 29, 2015 by Dale 3 Comments

Lichen the Rock

I stand upon a shield – worn – hard My Canadian skin – pink – alive Lying beneath the sun – radiating – warm Picnics countertop – shining – smoothed By glacial time – frozen – cracked Fissures map the mantle – quartz – mirrors Catching autumn light – colours – captive Rose rock rolls…

Our World’s Slow Change

September 27, 2015 by Dale 13 Comments

Changing Leaf

We walk the trails side by side Smell the moisture slip from leaves Our love grows strong hand in hand. The light dips behind the trees A steely equinox catches the sun Turns the season upon the earth. Veins pull  blood from extremities Suck it back into the trunks Life girds itself for winter’s bite….

Creepy? … What Do You See?

August 24, 2015 by Dale 2 Comments

Creepy Tree Feet

What do you see? In a form etched in black and white Crooked and hooked Gristled knuckles bent Leathered skin taut with arthritis Prized foot of a cock fighter …. ~ Or simply the gnarled branch of a misshapen pine hungry to survive? Creepy? Or just the magic of nature the defies our greatest imagination?…

Broken Earth ~ Perspective in Focus

June 8, 2015 by Dale 4 Comments

Broken Earth 1

The one of the things that I love most about photography is that it grounds me in the moment and gives me pause …. In that space, there is a possibility to see the world and see it different: in this case, the earth itself. I don’t think I’m particularly remarkable because I took a…

Vividly Blue

June 7, 2015 by Dale 5 Comments

A Force of Nature

May 10, 2015 by Dale 2 Comments

I erupt with strength through hard ground Through sidewalks and walls I abound I dirty knees and nails that try to resist Innocent, I yellow cheeks with a lemon kiss Fill the sky with chutes of gossamer Spread my seeds and choke life everywhere But I am sunshine painted on petal’s hue Each one a…
