photo of the vibrant flowers of a gum tree against a blue, cloudless sky

Like bees to blossoms
chasing blue skies and sunshine—
chilly autumn day.

Clouds once full and round
shrink; sun sets hollows deepen—
winter is coming.

Once upon a time
we only marched on fall leaves—
may that time return.

Together as one

A photo of a tree in autumn, with green, red, and shades of yellow leaves. — Canberra’s autumn

Green, yellow, and red—
beauty in coexistence,
nature represents.

looking up to the others,
hoping, autumn leaf.
