Three Poems
August 5, 2003
by Richard L. Provencher 


South Island, New Zealand

Piercing sunlight, sandblast bright
spotlights Dusky Sound's calm

scudding clouds approach sky's edge
humped hills surrounding the view.

A panorama of beauty.

When the Fishermen are Gone

A wooden hull
bumps gently
against the dock

Slap of water
along the
shore

Skim of glass upon
the lake

Distant hills outline the sky

And in the cottage
mom and dad
are resting

Children no longer here

Now grown into
careers and faraway places

They remember the boat.

A Revelation

Windy sounds are passionate, as
voices within the pine

the sky reflects thoughts combined
with an eagle's soar, king of

movement in his outdoor realm.

I am a seeker of truths, a
sanctuary of peace.

In my dreams, echoes of awe.
