Canvas Print 16″ x 20″
High up at the bottom of a bowl; Rimmed with ridges and cusps; Seeped through by blue rippling; Descending from ice-cap; A vast, steep-sided arena; Roaring with waterfalls; And fast-flowing river; Laced with low woodland; Filled with flowers; And rocky outcrops.
I’ve never seen such a scene; Except in dreams; And imaginings of Lothlorien.
A trail of enchantment; Moist, mossy and silvered with birch; Calling to continue; From rapture to rapture.
Until a howl of foreboding; From a wolf; That turns out to be dog; Standing sentinel; But tethered beside the path; Warns to turn around; Before the ice is reached; Falling short; By a hundred or two metres; But never mind.
The return seems longer than the coming; Even walking at the double; To carry clear of unknown trouble; Where wilderness strains at the leash; To make itself felt; Beyond the din; That begrudges mortal sin; For venturing so boldly; To invade its privacy.
[Inspired by a visit to a Norwegian glacier]

Alan Rayner is an evolutionary ecologist, painter, author, and poet born in Nairobi, Kenya. Since 2000, Alan has been pioneering awareness of natural inclusion—the evolutionary process which all natural substance comes into being and diversifies as flow-forms. Alan expresses this awareness through his art for over fifty years using oils, acrylics, watercolors and inks on a variety of surfaces. His colorful, technically unrefined, symbolic style depicts imaginary scenes that would come into mind ‘out of the blue’ by drawing on inspiration from the natural world.
