Shine

Panoramic photo of a large tree, with sunlight shining through the branches.

Deep in the forest,
a goddess stands majestic,
sun shines through branches.

Colour

Photo of autumnal colours on trees and raindrops on a car window screen, as seen from the front passenger seat of a car.

Pinks, yellows, and greens,
road trips, autumn afternoons;
raindrops on windscreens.

Joy

Photo of a creek surrounded by trees near a pine forest, with the winter afternoon sun flittering through the branches.

Creek by the forest,
evergreens and leafless trees;
we enjoy the sun.

Silence

close up photo of a mushroom of unknown origin, its gills visible, on a bed of pine needles — I’ve no idea which mushroom this is. If you do, please comment below.

Noisy world parties;
in silence of forests far,
little mushrooms grow.

See

Close up photo of a mushroom surrounded by weeds, all with few drops on them. The photographer’s phone and head is reflected on the mushroom.

If you watch closely,
pay attention to the world,
you’ll be reflecting.
