The wait

Photo of a plane on a turn in the runway, as seen from the window seat along the wing of the plane.

Cruising the runway,
waiting for life to take off—
dreamers on a plane.

Entrance

Photo of a ship coming into Sydney harbour at sunrise.

Noses up in air,
pushing through the horizon,
ships arrive at port.

Under appreciated

Photo of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge across the water, with a large fig tree canopy overhead.

Unfazed by the world,
extravagant monuments:
trees by city lakes.

Peace

panoramic photo of a wild canopy of Moreton Bay fig trees on Hyde Park in Sydney — Hyde Park, Sydney

I gawk at the skies:
it peeks through wild canopies;
heaven in cities.

Endurance

Close up photo of a sunflower clops on, its petals starting to open.

Attempting to bloom,
spring putting on a brave face,
for winter’s last week.
