When light becomes optimum, we may reach out
to the steady stream no doubt
cold as it may be, the opuscule journey
is keynote to nature's indelible power of attorney
over the rites of Spring, our signature tune
for hope over the attire of the unreasoned full moon
glimmering in reflected glory despite vortical challenge
of every strenuous contortion in psychedelic allonge
a Dali clockface slipping by in surrealist memoir
or an Impressionistic dream By the Water a-la-Renoir
we are left in a trance, truncated from reality no doubt
a journeying vision ebbs through our very senses devout
clinging to Nature is now a choice apart
distance measured from society's truculent black art
in trust with light, entertained by resources a plenty
music the only additive needed as emotives are many
such is this efficacious moment now streaming-by
for eclectic complexioned reflections, are no cosmetic shadow by-the-bye
no indeed not, this is Nature's very own compelling autograph;
a preface to the climate of life in Her environmentally-friendly bibliograph

I just got back from 2 weeks on the Isle of Wight and working my way through the images.
One evening as the tide was going out I headed to Newtown (one of my favourite parts of the island) and as I crossed over the bridge I saw this.
At first I was disappointed it wasnt high tide but actually, I much prefer this with the snaking sliver of water weaving around the mudbanks and beautifully coloured grasses.

Stream, stream, stream away
Float into another day
Past the fields of vivid green
To a land, as yet unseen
Stream, stream, stream away
Sail into another day
Along the water of pure blue
Until sweet beauty is brought to you
Down the stream , past fields of green
In a land that is yet unseen
A young black Sea wolf (Canus lupus crassodon) starts to cross a tidal stream, moving to my side of the stream on her hunt for food. She was relaxed but clearly curious as she looked in my direction. Great Bear Rainforest, British Columbia.

Watched by natures all seeing eye
Love and hate they do fly
Casting their spells on those below
Swimming in fates river, that does flow
Around the tree of life, so high
Watched by natures all seeing eye
By the Stream
by Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906)
"By the stream I dream in calm delight, and
watch as in a glass,
How the clouds like crowds of snowy-hued
and white-robed maidens pass,
And the water into ripples breaks and
sparkles as it spreads,
Like a host of armored knights with silver
helmets on their heads.
And I deem the stream an emblem fit of
human life may go,
For I find a mind may sparkle much and yet
but shallows show,
And a soul may glow with myriad lights and
wondrous mysteries,
When it only lies a dormant thing and
mirrors what it sees."
Paul Laurence Dunbar’s poem By the Stream is a reflective poem that forces the reader to consider the authenticity of those around us. Dunbar explains through the voice of a male persona that our first judgment of others could easily, and often is, completely mistaken. Through the use of imagery, similes, and a beautiful rhyme scheme, Dunbar has created a short but strong piece of writing which reminds us not to take everyone at face value.
Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1908) is an American writer who has authored many novels, short stories, and poems. Among these are The Uncalled, Folks from Dixie, The Love of Landry, Majors and Minors, the Oak in Ivy, Lyrics of Lowly Life, The Fanatics, the Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar, Little Brown baby, Poems of Cabin and Field, and The Heart of the Happy Hallow. It is in his book Lyrics of Lowly Life, that by the stream can be found.
Paul Laurence Dunbar is one of the most renowned African American poets to this date. He was one of the first African-American poets to have his poetry acknowledged worldwide. His literary talent was exposed early as he became the class president despite being the only African American in his class and managed to have several poems published before he even graduated. Though he had an early and rather unfortunate death for a man of his talent, his work is considered one of the best African American poetry collections until this day.
