Flight

Photo of the sunset on a bed of clouds in the horizon, as seen from a plane.

Flying at sunset
I sleep amongst the heavens—
a pillow of clouds.

Awakening

Photo of the Melbourne outskirts as seen from the window seat of a plane that’s starting its descent.

I’m diving head first,
ground rises up to meet me—
we land; nightmare ends.

Expecting

Close up photo of a bunch of purple flowers in the foreground with a cloudy sky in the background.

Flowers in waiting;
fist rain drops of the season
drifting overhead.

Joy

Photo of the sun filtering through the branches of a pepper tree, as seen from below.

Raining down blessings,
brightening up pepper trees—
summertime sunshine.

Paint

photo of jacaranda trees in full bloom with the Opera House in the background

Drops of purple paint;
jacarandas in the rain—
on a bleak canvas.
