Memory

Photo of a bunch of daisies on a cliff edge at Currumbin beach, Queensland.

Daisies by the beach;
a hello and a goodbye—
remembering you.

Hello

Photo of the ocean as seen from atop a mountain with bright yellow flowers visible on the left side of the photograph.

Atop a mountain,
flowers gaze at the ocean—
rolling, it waves back.

March

photo of the sun rising on the beach, with dark clouds clearing — Sun rising over Burleigh Heads, Gold Coast, Australia

A small battalion
marching past general sun;
heavy-hearted clouds.

Greeting

photo of flowering blades of grass with the sunrise behind them

Pink-headed grasses,
waking up to greet the sun,
nod at passers-by.

Forever

Close up photo of broken and crumbled leftovers of a bunch of plastic flowers on a grave stone. The wire stems of the flowers still remain, while most of the fake petals have broken up.

In memoriam;
plastic flowers in graveyards,
never decompose.
