watching

Posted on Categories Poetry

distances stretch in outer space,

galaxies drift beyond detection,

ocean tides swell and join the shore,

the Now once known slips away.

Watchers mourn and some agree 

all that is here transforms history.

My name is Janice.  I started blogging as Ontheland when I moved from Toronto to a rural area near Kingston, Ontario in Canada.  Over time I have found myself writing poetry, mostly in Japanese forms, such as haiku and haibun.  One of my deepest interests is the natural world: the joy of it and how we can look after it better.
