POOLS OF LIGHT
THE FIERCE TROPICAL SUN
THE FIERCE MIDDAY SUN
SLEEPING IN THE SHADE
BASKING IN THE SUN
WARM AUTUMN SUNSHINE
SHINING IN THE SUN
A WITHERING SUN
THE SUNSHINE STREAMING IN
THE BRIGHT PROMISE OF THE DAY
SHINING IN THE DESERT SUN
AS DAY WAS BREAKING
UNDER A FIERCE SUN
LIGHT STRIKES THE CANYON RIM
THE SEARING SUN MAKES AN UMBRELLA BLOOM
GLEAMED IN THE SUN
DAZZLING IN THE SUNSHINE
THE SUN ARCS ACROSS A CLOUDLESS SKY
THE LAST LIGHT OF DAY TINTS THE AIR AND EARTH
DAWN BREAKING ACROSS THE AFRICAN SKY
SHADING MY EYES IN THE AFTERNOON SUN
THE SETTING SUN TURNED THE WATER DEEP RED

SCATTERED POWDER-PUFF CLOUDS
A CHILL MARCH WIND SCATTERS THE MORNING MIST
NO CLOUD CLUTTERED THE SKY
THE SKY HAD DARKENED TO A FAINT VIOLET
BATHED IN RITUAL SMOKE
THE AIR IS SATURATED WITH PRAYERS AND DREAMS
THE WEST GREW DARK WITH STORM CLOUDS
THE SKY PAINFULLY DARK
COSMIC DANCE
STINGING RAIN AND CHILL AUGUST WINDS
THE WHOLE HEAVENS WERE IN A BRIGHT GLOW
STALE AIR SUFFOCATES
CHEST CRUSHING HEAT
BLANKET OF DARKNESS
THE SKY IS A MILD SEPTEMBER BLUE
AN ETERNAL NIGHT
THE CLARITY OF THE AIR
THE CLOUDLESS SKY
THE HEAT GAVE WAY TO DISMAL RAIN
A BRIGHT CRISP AUTUMN AFTERNOON
CLOUDLESS APRIL MORNING
TURNED DAY INTO NIGHT
AFTERNOON SHADOWS STRETCHED LONG AND THIN
A SUNNY DAY IN WINTER
SHIMMERING IN THE MIST
ON A HOT SUMMER DAY
THE TANGY SCENT OF SALT
ONE FINE MORNING
IN PALE OCTOBER LIGHT
A RISING STAR
AMID SILENCE AND SHIMMERING HEAT
ON A BONE COLD NIGHT IN JANUARY
PRISONERS OF THE WIND
SOFT SNOW BEGAN TO FALL
THE HARD EDGE OF WINTER
THE AIR SMELLS OF THE SEA
THE WATERS REFLECTED THE CRIMSON SKY
A BLACK MOUNTAIN OF SEAMLESS STORM CLOUDS
IN THE BRIGHT WARM AIR OF MORNING
A COOL MIST LICKED MY FACE
BRILLIANTLY CLEAR
BIBLE BLACK DARKNESS
STARS; SIGNPOSTS OF THE SEA
THE MIST RISES GENTLY OFF THE HILLS
THE SKY WAS FULL OF CLOUDS HEAVY WITH RAIN
THE SOFT WINTER SKY
LIKE WIND DRIVEN CLOUDS
A WORLD OF SWIRLING GAS CLOUDS AND ACID RAIN
CLOUDS SWIRL ABOUT LIKE GAUZY CURTAINS
STEAMY AS A TERRARIUM
A BRILLIANT DOUBLE RAINBOW
SHEETS OF GHOSTLY GREEN LIGHT FLICKERED AND DANCED ACROSS THE SKY
THE MIST WAS RESTING ON THE VALE LIKE DRIFTED SNOW
INDIGO HUES DEEPEN AS DAYLIGHT WANES OVER HILLS AND FIELDS
THE SMELL OF THINGS BOTH LIVING AND DEAD MIXES IN THE AIR
DAY LIGHT SANK DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO THE DARKNESS
THE FIERCE LIGHTENING IS SCRATCHING THE SKY WITH ITS NAILS
A COOL BREEZE SOFTENS THE HUMID AFTERNOON HEAT
THE CLOUDS SWEPT SILENTLY ACROSS THE HORIZON
THE LIGHT FADED AND STARS GATHERED OVERHEAD
THUNDER SCATTERS THE CROWS THAT ROOST IN THE TREE BELOW ME
HOT BLUE OCEAN WITH SCHOOLS OF CLOUDS FLOATING ACROSS IT
THE FIRST LIGHT OF DAY PICKS ITS WAY THROUGH THE HAZE
A FIERY SKY SILENTLY USHERS EVENING INTO THE LONELY DESERT
ONE BY ONE THE STARS WINKED ON IN A DARKENING SKY

THE RIVER FALLS UNDER US LIKE A TRAP DOOR
RIVERS THAT UNCOIL LIKE PYTHONS
WINDS LIKE A RIVER
WINDS LIKE A SNAKE
THE RIVER WAS LIKE SMOOTH PAPER BEING SHRED ON THE ROCKS
THE WATER GLOWED - AS IF LIT FROM WITHIN
AS STILL AS THE SEA
THICK AS MUD

THE FOG DRAPED RIVER
WEARY ROCK
AN OASIS RISING FROM A SANDY WASTELAND
DANGEROUS UNCHARTED SEA
BEYOND THE NEXT BEND IN THE RIVER
WHISPER OF THE ROAR BEFORE THE BEND
THE DEEP ROAR OF THE TORRENT
THE HOLLOW SOUND OF THE FALLS
OOZING WETLAND
RACING THE RISING TIDE
THE RESTLESS WATER IS BOISTEROUS
ON THE SEASHORE OF ENDLESS WORLDS
