the tree stands bare, its fury burned to bone.
Ash drifts where tempests once took flight,
roots clutch the earth like hands that atone.
Once fire, now silence forged in flame,
its anger buried, yet it whispers its name;
Renewal.

Empty bench watching the silent blue,
Lake mirrors losses I cannot tell;
Pines stand witness where absence grew,
Grief ripples outward; endless, gentle swell.
Dr. Tranquil
There is often beauty is the sadness of life.

Beneath the thorn’s silent vigil I stand,
cradling this crimson remnant of bloom;
a wrinkled hymn to seasons passed and endured,
teaching my heart to gather strength from loss.

The sky pours quiet into the sea,
A hush that keeps the whole world steady;
Light rises where silence touches the deep,
An unseen heart still holding everything ready.

Located in Ottawa, Canada.
Dragon gate greets first light,
Painted eaves hum ancient song.
Step through, heart sheds its weight,
New worlds rise beyond the arch.

The chalk sun dulls, trading its wide grin for the color of dust.
Flowers draw back into the stone, hiding their petals from touch.
A butterfly smears in mid-flutter, trapped between leaving and staying.
The ground waits, to fold every bright mark into silence.

The day wore iron on its chest,
Each hour a wound it would not confess.
But fire still smolders through quiet snow,
Not all warmth needs to show.
The day ends.
Dr. Tranquil
Sometimes, our warmth is hidden, even from ourselves.

Glass preserves the death
Life in the barren with health
Receding earths bite

Seeing the prosaic expanse,
we miss the rippling currents,
The true foundation of growth,
Of turmoil and all that is below.

Snow whispers stories on the splintered frame,
As if to mourn what shelter once became.
Forgotten warmth beneath the frosted eaves,
Echoes of refuge drift with falling leaves.

Neglecting the positive is neglecting yourself.
Find your balance!

It is important to remember, especially now, that although it is easy for worries to take hold of us: You matter, here and now. Be present, never sacrifice this moment.

Mist discovers sweet,
lone tree asleep until dawn,
patience abound hills.

The world sometimes seems as if there is no end in sight to the panic, chaos, and hurt. Allow yourself time to reflect on what is needed, and what you can control.

The miasma reminiscent of a mire I once knew,
The breeze slowly uplifting my aching soles,
My lips ache and crack in the undying heat,
I push forward, and gaze upon the remuneration.
Dr. Tranquil
Don't let others dictate your life.

To always be so weighed down by the small things,
To always be so focused on all the details,
To always be over-tuned to others and not oneself,
Is to never allow us to seek freedom of the expanse.
