elemental balance, bliss & The Lark Ascending - Published by: Raining Rengay, Issue 8

elemental balance

wading

knee deep in clouds

isle of skye                                            (ib)

foxglove and heather beckon

out on the sea a sun spot                       (sm)

sky and sea

mirror each other

vast living blue expanse                        (mp)

light wind turns misty

pollen flutters to the ground

silent hush offers solace                          (da)

above and below

elemental balance                                    (jn)

gate latches gently

along grassy knobs

expanding foot trail                                 (sm)

***

bliss

purrrrrrrrfect

two fat cats 

rubbing heads                                                  (ib)

we morph from young to old

season to season, together                     (jn)

sharing the sky

orion visits

only in winter                                                  (ib)

crescent moon rises

with the morning star

the scent of coffee                                (jn)

in golden hours 

cloud-bathing                                                    (ib)

indoor plumbing

a warm fire

domestic bliss                                      (jn)

The Lark Ascending

clearing mist

on the mountain

I meet a broken ghost      (lh)

bits and pieces

geese crying      (ib) 

dust settling

the last day

of autumn        (sg)

glistening shards

the peak comes into focus      (lh)

sunshine

melting first frost

wabi sabi              (ib)

double rainbow

a skylark ascending     (sg)
