trees and bushes reflected on a lake, Tidbinbilla National park, Canberra — Tidbinbilla National park, Canberra

Two halves make a whole,
lesson in equality—
world shows, man ignores.

Spot it

a leaf-less tree with a full moon barely visible from behind it — Can you find the moon?

Playing hide and seek,
a treasure in sunset skies,
awaiting hunters.

All natural

broken tree bark

To be broken, hurt,
crushed under a world of hate,
is human, nature.

Treat

full moon on a clear sky, as seen through tree branches

Pearl of the ocean,
treating gazers with its grace—
full moon in the sky.

Dilemma

a footpath in a park, surrounded by green and early-autumn trees, Launceston, Tasmania — Punchbowl Reserve, Launceston, Tasmania

Mildly-trodden path
calls me to a promised land—
to go or stay, awed?
