Common

Tethered together,
warring, despite shared borders
and a spinal cord.

Promise

photo of sun setting behind dense bushes and houses

On the horizon,
hovering, a band of hope—
of good tomorrows.

Fight

My neighbourhood Groot,
fighting for a greater good—
future of our earth.

Light

photo of two tall leaf-less trees on one side of the pther, with a lot of flowering bushes on the other side of the path

Lamp posts on sidewalks,
giving light to many lives—
wind-swept, tall-tree limbs.

Beginnings

Tiny shoots of spring—
I raise my camera high,
to new beginnings.
