Lady of Gold

Lady of Gold

Water gold and you one love precious and pure unfathomable …. You cleanse my spirit sifting through my shoals baptized by ripples of sea You pan my history releasing my secrets mining my life’s nuggets You forge in me a life smelted with a ray of blue an ingot borne of water. You hammer my…

Haiku Harmony

Harmony

Mother teamed to Son Melted hearts born in hard snow Trained in harmony Black, tan and white fur Bounding for the trail ahead Played in harmony. Heart wrapped in wool Bright eyes sparkle flecks of ice Warmed in harmony. Lovers on a dog sled We are home wrapped in arms Pulled in harmony.” All text…

My State of Mind

You are My State of Mind You kiss me and I am a teenage boy being kissed for the first time You laugh and my world becomes a 70s rerun laughing on the carpet You hug me and I am an astronaut finding the cure for cancer on top of Everest You shine desire and…

Seasons Come … and Seasons Go

February 20, 2016 by Dale 1 Comment

Winter Melt

On February 3rd, Ottawa experienced the warmest February day on record, reaching nearly 10° Celsius. Then this Tuesday, February 16th, Ottawa had a record for its largest single-day snowfall — over 50cm. Yesterday night I went cross-country skiing. And today, February 20th, while not a record, the season has changed again and with a daytime…

Art Made Real

February 15, 2016 by Dale 8 Comments

Art pulls at our lives … Your smile follows me wherever I’m pulled I’m held by your gaze. Standing on a bridge struggling with all my fears screams from the weight of years. Made of Titanic marble heroic stands against disbelief Goliath stoned by your devotion. You’re passion born of sea foam but a torso…

Forever is a Time …

February 14, 2016 by Dale Leave a Comment

Forever is the light a sunset a candle the dim light upon our eyes I watch … it fades and time remains. Forever is a moment, a leaf the sky a season caught in two, I pray … to believe a cycle eternal. Forever is a time a watch a hand a life line wanders…

Optimism

January 31, 2016 by Dale Leave a Comment

Optimism

Within the hardness of my husk Sheathed in winter’s ice I hold a softness, compressed by life, Dormant, but alive, I am seeds Ready for spring to erupt Safe within your gaze Protected within your hands, I’m vulnerable to all the world, I am filled with optimism.
