Emergence

July 20, 2016 by Dale 7 Comments

Wrapped in a dream of magenta Erupts a corona of gold A dart for a hummingbird heart Footstones for a honey stream of bees Pulled deep in a focal decent Drunk in the hibiscus’ emergence.

Beetles Partners

Into you I fall Copper ingots melting into a pool of emerald With you I will fly Feathered fur tufted upon a tapestry of wind Upon you I rest Life mating with life, partners procreated of love.

Possessing Loss: Remembering Ben

October 15, 2015 by Dale 31 Comments

Golden Tree

I’d never realized that loss is such a complicated and nuanced concept. I thought you either had something or you didn’t — that something is either possessed or it is lost.

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.

Destination Love

September 22, 2015 by Dale 5 Comments

We travel the boardwalk A seabreeze caught hand in hand Write our love in the sand With permanent chalk. We travel life’s bridge To the drum of our feet Our hearts resonate with each beat A future nears across the ridge. We travel the blue sky above Cut the clouds from the light Pack them…

Baby Sea

Baby Sea

Sunset licks a dying sky Baby blue washed in pink hue Foam born waters laps. *     *    * Apricot blush sipped Blue waters rise into sky Sea rose rests on sand. *     *    * Warm sand drinks summer sky Stratus quenched in baby sea Heaven is here with you. All text and images © Dale…
