Twisty

Photo of a row of large leafless trees extending across a walking path in a park.

Waving twisty limbs
in my park, casting magic—
deciduous trees.

Waking up

Photo of the sunrise behind the Sky Tower in Auckland, as seen while walking down a hill.

To walk down a hill
waking up to the sunrise
what a privilege

Springing

Photo of the pre sunrise glow at Takapuna Beach in Auckland.

Springing out in joy
the sun brings out the fireworks
chilly winter fades

Raindrops

photo of a green valley with sheep on it, as seen from a bus window that has some raindrops on it.

Raindrops on windows
white spots on a green canvas
roadtrip to country.

Pray

Ghostly trees raise arms
engulfed in the winter mist
pray to the heavens.
