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.

Rising high

Human obsessions:
infiltrating glass ceilings
and ozone layers.

Bye

To new adventures
marked by departure lounges—
life full of richness.

Dying

Angelic flower
lays on a bed of autumn
disintegrating.
