Fragmentation





Clouds, soft and fecund,
punctuate a sky relentless
in the pink promise of evening.

     Humidity hangs like a shroud,                                         The past presents a poignant pain
      giving shelter to myriad bugs,                                             neither cured, nor improved,
    and encouraging fantasies of sun.                                            by the medication of time.

The dead road-kill crow
offered visual recompense
to the folly of life.

   One sole loon laughed sardonically                                       The spaces between jackpine
       at the thought of carefree fish                                         and populist spruce guard access
              only metres below.                                                           to a mossy living magic.

In a random and chaotic universe
expecting the unexpected
guarantees nothing.

                                                      There is a lesson to be learned
                                                  or perhaps a moral to be discerned,
                                                    but interpretation is left to Janus.

Welcome, and Namaste

Greetings fellow travellers,

For you American friends visiting, you will notice that this old Canadian uses Canadian English in this blog: kindly bear with me. As I blog primarily on subjects that are vitally interesting to me, I appreciate all feedback.

As I tend to be a bit of a language usage freak, I will, as required, edit obscenity and rude comments. That said, I welcome your opinions and discussion.

May your Dharma be clear

Peace

"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumb'red here,
While these visions did appear."
