Howling like the Wind

Ride
into the backbone of the Earth
where hearts pounding against
the icy air
hear
a wolf howling like the wind
the deep swirling spirits
awaken
luring us past
icy water falling
on a sky bridge between
ancient stromatolites and ravens riding thermals

the wolf pack grows and echoes
throughout the valley
reaching
the entrance of the tunnel
as the icy sun sets
behind illuminated snow and clouds
leaving only shadows and silhouettes

Sky Silver

Sky silver

casting a shade of icy blue 

reflecting in evening light

he paints rainbows 

Sky silver 

casting lines on

the reflecting river 

oncorhynchus paints the undercurrents

Sky silver

wind casting currents

the reflecting raven

paints with iridescent wings 

Our view of the sky today

Sinusoidal Projections

Nearly every morning
has been filled 

               with the late arrival of a grey sun 

   barely perceptible 

the silver lining illuminating

   a thick blanket of clouds 

with only one inversion adventure 

worth 10 minutes of direct sunlight

                                    for weeks

This morning we we're greeted with a sea of cerulean so irresistible
we bathed in the ocean of the sky.  redefining
