Glowing

Photo of the deep vibrant orange glow of the sunset behind big trees.

The horizon swells,
an orange in its belly;
setting summer sun.

Guiding light

Photo of a big cloud at sunset, surrounded by and orange glow, as seen from the window seat of a plane.

Vibrantly orange
leaping ahead of our plane,
ghost cloud leads the way.

Ready

Photo of a Qantas plane stationary on the tarmac.

Decked up and ready,
primed to take the storms head on—
pilot grabs the mic.

Day break

Light is upon us:
desperate to stay awake,
sun and moon tangle.

Storm coming

Photo of Currumbin beach in the Gold Coast, taken from the rocks at dusk with dark and stormy clouds gathering in the distant horizon.

Dark clouds amassing:
surfers moan and tourists groan;
storm chasers rejoice.
