Perpetual Glory
Bathed in dawn’s soft glow she slips into a purple robe interlaced with crimson ribbons.
She dresses slowly to reflect the ocean’s hues, white chiffon appliqués her skirt, wisps of blonde clasped into a golden crown that shimmers in a veil across her shoulders.
Her rapturous spring tears shower away winter’s drabness, her pristine visage enhanced by an iridescent scarf draped across her breast.
When clouds are tempestuous, her charcoal cloak shrouds the world. She throws illuminating spears, warns of forthcoming wrath; her shouts resounding until their rage drenches us.
Sensuous in dark damask, her swarthy face sparkles with silver piercings. A mother-of-pearl accessory subtly adorns raven locks. She cossets us in dreams, repairing ragged edges -- frayed by daytime stress.
She is the ever-changing canopy that shelters our world, thrilling us with her perpetual glory.

Four Old Women
Four old women down by the shore swept by waves constant and pure. Foaming flounces fondling fat feet, tickling tanned toes, under each seat.
Vivid blue water poking rock places frothy white rides to stoic staircases. Keen spirits sting in gristly bangles lifting scent from zesty kelp tangles.
Photic light, tones rugged worn skin parting grey scales and wavering fin. Misty steam on draining dank ledges milky cascades feed fernery hedges.
Pivotal swirls course along at a rate flow to pools then flags with debate. Salt shouted spray wafts to wet chins then sinless, drips to tunics and shins.
Women dance in the fire of the sun, cooling waves run-rerun and rerun. Sheer scarped sinuate steeped shades citadels, ring echoes, bent colonnades.
Sough the echoes, sough the echoes… Hear to the echoes, echoes old women? Hear thundering echoes old women. Hear the echoes…

Northwest Passage
Interrupted moonbeams dance on icebergs and trail their milk-white fingers in icy sea, accompanying emerald rhythms of the Borealis.
The blue-white stage emits a ghostly hue, evanescent and lambent by turns. In the vast silence, glaciers tower like cathedrals in the midnight sky.
Aboard The Erebus, an old salt, inured to the show; stamps his feet, breathes warmth into his calloused hands and dreams of hot tea, unwitting of his fate.
