This poetry cache is located in Crippen Regional Park on beautiful Bowen Island. Crippen Regional Park has a great trail network, and its size provides a fantastic variety of nature. If you are finding this cache from the mainland, take the Queen of Capilano to Snug Cove, and its either a pleasant walk of a quick drive to Crippen.
A QUIET COMING OF LIGHT
A spray of moonlight
fell like pewter beads
onto the petaled earth.
I made up sly Russian dance steps
to ambush you-
a curl of smoke crawling
under a tightly closed door.
But oh dearest husband:
now my hair’s white as china
and brittle as branches,
and I still want you
to want me
more than our own small complaints.
I kept your life’s secrets
taped to my mattress
in drawers with no handles
and cuttle-bone knives.
You see,
I wore you like perfume
under the moon
with the roses.
Your skin stretched
and settled round mine.
I remember
the press of your lips
on the pathway,
when we became part of
a quiet coming
of light.

Local poet
This is a poetry cache, its meant to bring out the inner power of words that is in each and everyone of us. When you find the cache, take some time, relax, unwind, and feel the calm serenity of nature embrace you. I have supplied the cache with sheets of lined and blank paper. If you want to, you can write a poem or short story on the lined paper, or you can draw something on the bank sheets. You can also just sign the logbook, writing a poem or drawing is totally optional.
I wasn't able to find a proper bag to keep the pages dry, so if you have a spare useless bag lying around, this cache may need one eventully, however I will be back to check on it frequently, and I will have a bag with me.
The goal is to build up the poem inventory in the cache, once there are a lot of poems in the cache, they can be used as trading items. So please feel free to write a poem, or draw something.
The cache is a large lock&lock its pretty hard to not find, (unless it goes missing).
Best of luck, take photos, and if you wish, write or draw something.
