trees hold tight to memories
long forgotten dreams

Tom Thomson was an influential Canadian artist of the early 20th century. He directly influenced a group of Canadian painters that would come to be known as the Group of Seven, and though he died before they formally formed, he is sometimes incorrectly credited as being a member of the group itself. Thomson died under mysterious circumstances, which added to his mystique. He disappeared during a canoeing trip in Algonquin Park on July 8, 1917 and his body was discovered in the lake eight days later. The official cause of death was accidental drowning, but he was found with fishing line wrapped around his leg and he had a head injury There are still questions about how he actually died.

Flutters






vibrance in the air
nature's brilliant palette
flutters on the breeze

Aroma

Chocolate Chai Tea

steam rising
 in shimmering ribbons
carrying with them
a divine essence
that permeates the air

 just a whiff
of this aroma's float
rouses the desire
inculcating need
as the scent is savoured

 fragrant wafts
spicy, sweet and pungent
saturate senses
 thoughts drift on vapours
deliciously intoxicating

Pine


amidst pine forests
where crystal water runs deep
mountains kiss the clouds

Playground


Lardeau River, British Columbia, Canada

come play with me here
where crystal water runs deep
mountains kiss the clouds
pine trees stand guard on the banks

magic in nature's playground

in crimson it screams
this warning must be heeded
poison lurks within

Landscape


sparks from embers fly
above the tattered landscape
howls rise on the wind

Night Wish

 

                                                    I’ve come to gaze upon a star,
                                                    and wish you back to me.
                                                    All pain has been forgotten.

                                                    The wounds have healed,
                                                    the heart repaired.
                                                    My arms are open wide.

                                                    I’ll wrap you tight in love’s caress,
                                                    until we greet the dawn.
                                                    Then I'll have to let you go.

On The Road




echoes on the road
subtle rustles in the air
ghosts linger in trees

ghosts linger in trees
standing silent sentinel
listen on the wind

listen on the wind
etched in nature's memory
echoes on the road
