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.

Resilient, by your side

Eucalyptus (gum) trees in Canberra — Eucalyptus trees, also known as gum trees

As the winter gums
brave the weather’s vagaries,
good friends have your back.

Intervention

Nature’s luscious treats,
cutting through life’s consciousness,
as bridge on a lake.
