A collection of my photos accompanied by the wonderful poetry of my dear Friend
Cyn Luckey.
Sleeping Giants
I am a sleeping giant
Bound for heaven in my dreams
To stand upright
And walk upon the earth
To meet the great mountains
My brothers
And sing songs of mortal men
For though guardians of majesty
And keepers of lengthening shadows
We are alone, we are lonely
And we wait
For echoes
– Cyn Luckey

Circle of Life
Once I was new
In a world of towering color
And I burst forth
Eager to fill my cells with life
Once I was beautiful
My body afire in the waning sun
Curling my edges
With patient grace
Once I was dying
And I fell softly to earth
Rocked to peaceful sleep
In the arms of the ancients
– Cyn Luckey

Heaven
We are closer to heaven
Than we know
Closer to the perfection
Of sight and heart
Of majesty and poetry
Of stillness of the soul
And time beloved
Slowly waning into night
Be watchful, be hopeful
All ye children of the earth
Heaven
Is where you are
–Cyn Luckey

Queen of Flowers
The beauty
Of nature
The perfection
Of cells
The intricacy
Of simplicity
The eloquence
Of grace
The brevity
Of life
All in
One flower
–Cyn Luckey

Morning
The morning is still waking
Its eyes still blinking with sleep
Its yawn illuminating the forest
With heavenly light
It is said we exist only
In the dreams of gods
But it cannot be true
For this beautiful earth
This ethereal sun
This precious leaf
Can only be born
In us

Remember Me
When I am old
When my color fades to pale
And I can no longer fight time
Remember me
Not just the way I was
So young and filled with life
But when I bent with age
When I lay my head down with sleep
Unable to see the sun
Remember me
And every glorious moment
Of this wonderful life
–Cyn Luckey

Singing Heavens
The heavens are singing
Sending songs of glory
Through reverent air
Notes as clear and true as time
And we should still to listen
The heavens are watching
Aged eyes sorrowed with tears
But anchored in fervent hope
We will turn to look into the sun
And see the beauty in this life
-Cyn Luckey

No Rest
No rest be mine this day
I must do my sworn duty
And ardently bow
To the task before me
But maybe, just this once,
Just this once
I might tarry awhile
To sit upon this throne
Of astonishing beauty
And imagine I am king
Of this magnificent world
–Cyn Luckey

It was mine
I am a witness to this moment
The air, how still she lies
The earth, painted with fever
The sea, so wild and beautiful
This exact moment
Thick clouds rustling overhead
Whispering their secrets
A moment spent, a moment lost
Never to be here again
But while it lasted, it was mine
– Cyn Luckey

Weathered souls
They are watching
These old, weathered souls
These great grandfathers of time
Wondering if we will show
Kindness to the earth
For it is our turn
To tend this ancient land
To make nature proud
And ease the souls of the forests
The birds of the air
And the hearts of the oceans
– Cyn Luckey

Moments
The world
Is happening
All around us
Stop
Just for a moment
To listen
…
Then
Wait
For one breath more
To hear
…
Then
One heartbeat more
To look
Another heartbeat
To see
…
That
Is the beautiful sound
And the glorious color
Of your life
–Cyn Luckey
