Happy

photo of the afternoon sun filtering through a giant gum tree

Permeates through leaves,
nature’s antidepressant:
afternoon sunlight.

Whispering gums

Panoramic photo of a lemon scented gum against a blue sky dotted by clouds.

The neighbourhood watch;
as humankind passes by,
eucalypts whisper.

Protectors

secondary and tertiary branches of a gumtree against a partly cloudy sky

Gumtrees holding ground
our life blood surging within
veins of the planet

Lot to live for

sun streaming through the branches of a gum tree

Catastrophising
I ponder on a tough year
the sun rose each day

Facing cameras
as effortless teenager
casual gumtree
