Beyond human power

Bushland on the Mount Ainslie hike, Canberra — Mount Ainslie hike, Canberra

We strive to control,
to twist nature to our will;
unyielding, it grows.

Epitome of patience

Winter afternoon, Canberra

Enduring mother:
gathering leaves, harmless seems,
til she avenges.

Impressions

Indigenous Australian art, National Multicultural Festival, Canberra

Reflecting life, art,
as a leopard’s spots, imprints
colours in our minds.

For there’s magic in the sand

backyard garden in winter, Canberra

Give me a garden;
trees branching out to heavens,
I will grow in peace.

Patience rewards

Lake side in Canberra

Muddy and rocky
though life, like lake, at its end
swims pristine beauty.
