A sore sight

Somewhere over the land — Somewhere over the land, probably Australia

A crude watermark,
staining our lives forever—
a nation, suppressed.

Peace of mind

Spring afternoon in Canberra — Just a regular spring afternoon in Canberra

Flawlessly aligned,
as a scene from a movie;
undisturbed nature.

To be or not to be

Cloudy sky, Canberra

Cloudy, overcast,
swinging as a pendulum,
mind on windy days.

Inner turbulence

Squirrel on a tree — Squirrel on a tree, a long time ago in Austin, Texas

As deer in headlights,
squirrels scrambling for dear life;
humans in the way.

Leading by example

One Tree Hill, Auckland, New Zealand

Aiming for the skies—
yet, spreading roots far and wide,
tree, a way of life.
