Order

As school marching band,
shaven sides, prim and proper;
municipal trees.

Work-life balance

Trees and bushes reflected on the surface of the Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra

World weighs on her head,
sea of duty drags her down;
the calm lake, mother.

Sometimes

Trees and the landscape reflected on the Lake Burly Griffin, Canberra

Nature: perfect child
with all things being equal,
chaos, otherwise.

Mother and child

As the clouds make way
for sky mother smiling down,
river child beams back.

Awe

Lean on lake’s lamp post,
having raced for nature’s glow,
breathless from beauty.
