A crimson sky bleeds through the veins of night,
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.

This robin is following the directions! Even brought its food to the muster point too.

My neighbor has these ducks that hatched earlier this year. They stick together and are so curious!

Empty Grief

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.

Echo of the Wild Rose

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.

True Reflection

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.

Dr. Tranquil

God is ever-present

Everything I take on my longer day hikes in winter! Weighs almost nothing, and gives lots of security and fun for the winter time! Much lighter in spring/summer though haha

The intricacy of this entry way is incredible, and whenever I see it I am reminded of the bustling market this leads to.

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.

Neglect

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.

I took this picture hiking in Manitoba, Canada. The trails are so beautiful when covered in snow, they always create a sense of calming harmony.

This picture I took after the last blizzard of the year. Those hills of snow you see are actually snow covered cars!

Now here's a haiku:

Reflections of Embers

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.

Vibrancy

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

Overarching Flatness

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

Echoes of Shelter

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.

Whispers Beneath the Ice

The river dreams in silver sleep,
Its breath held fast in crystal chains.
Yet deep below, the currents keep
Their silent oath to rise again.

Sometimes what we need is a chance to reflect on the beauty surrounding us, not worry about the past or the future. It is easy to get stuck on the negatives, in fact, it is easy to only see the negatives.

But, life is balance.

Neglecting the positive is neglecting yourself.

Find your balance!

I am waiting for these days again, hopefully soon when all the snow melts.

Expressions of an Illusion,
faltering ripples,
degrading through time,
towards an end that always comes.

Dr. Tranquil

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.

Lone Tree:

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

Dr. Tranquil

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.

Hidden Treasures

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.

Hint at the Galaxy

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.
