Shining

Photo of the sun setting in the horizon, as seen from the 35th floor of a hotel room in Sydney’s CBD. — Sunset from the 35th floor of a Sydney hotel.

Sparkling golden hour:
the sun folds in on itself;
red wine stain remains.

The wait

Photo of a plane on a turn in the runway, as seen from the window seat along the wing of the plane.

Cruising the runway,
waiting for life to take off—
dreamers on a plane.

Entrance

Photo of a ship coming into Sydney harbour at sunrise.

Noses up in air,
pushing through the horizon,
ships arrive at port.

Under appreciated

Photo of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge across the water, with a large fig tree canopy overhead.

Unfazed by the world,
extravagant monuments:
trees by city lakes.

Peace

I gawk at the skies:
it peeks through wild canopies;
heaven in cities.
