On the river

lights float to the horizon

the dead rejoice

on the river

we return to the ocean

borne by the flow

.

lights float to the horizon—

spirits dream

memories in the mist

.

the dead rejoice

reunion

with the ocean

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.
