Onwards

a street direction sign with five arrows pointing in multiple directions, each with words like, "one way", "another way", "look up", and "to the beach". The words on the fifth arrow is not visible.

Roundabout of life—
each exit is mystery,
when we go forward.

Shimmer

a rivulet as seen from a raised rock path, flanked by green ocean plants on either side, with a few thin clouds dispersing in a blue sky

World is your oyster—
as heavy clouds drift away,
sun shines, green linings.

Mischief

three lean gum trees in a row, all with slightly crooked barks

The three musketeers
seek adventure in a park—
tall mischievous gums.

Progress

a rivulet as seen from a raised rock path, flanked by green ocean plants on esither side and four kayaks resting on the rocks

Pull up the kayak,
you’ve come far from comfort ground;
look back and reflect.

Kayaking

a kayak's nose heading towards mangroves in the still waters of a river

Treading on mangroves,
wading into rivulets,
high tide, water’s still.
