Pleasures

photo of the almost-full moon and a large gum tree beside it, as seen from a balcony

A towering gum,
glowing full moon arising—
I don’t ask for much.

Conversations

Panoramic photo of a large tree.

Entwined in passion,
reaching out to each other,
trees communicate.

Waiting for weekends

photo of a golden retreiver lying on the floor, looking sideways

Sprawled out on the floor,
gazing at the sky, in love,
Thursday afternoons.

Awakening

Photo of the sun rising above the clouds, as seen through the window of an airplane.

I stand as witness:
sun rises before sunrise,
airplane awareness.

Bliss

A group of tall gum trees in the morning. The sun’s first rays shine on the top half of the trees.

Early morning gums,
sunshine’s kiss on their foreheads,
cherry on ice cream.
