Merge

Photo of the summer sunset as seen from between trees.

Merging into one,
the many shades of orange—
summertime sunset.

Plane

Photo of the sunrise as seen from the window seat of an airplane.

At ten thousand feet,
I awake dazed and confused
with the rising sun.

Tendencies

photo of Christchurch mountain rages as seen from the top of the Sugarloaf Reserve — Sugarloaf Reserve, Christchurch, New Zealand

Ultimate human:
to conquer that big mountain;
remain unhappy.

Longing

Close up photo of rain drops on a broccoli leaf.

Winter photograph;
on a dry hot summer’s day,
remembering rain.

The end

Close up photo of a dying rose bud in the foreground, and a blurry view of the sunset in the background.

Flowers have their days;
at long last the time has come,
for the sun to set.
