Empty

close up photo of the hollow space inside a bamboo plant after it's been cut horizontally — Cross-section of a bamboo plant

Inside all of us,
hollow spaces full of void—
we are bamboozled.

Treasure

photo of strawberries partly hidden under leaves and flowers

Hidden balls of gold—
scattered throughout my garden—
edible treasures.

I see

close up photo of grass, focussed in the photo, with a large pine tree in the distance

I lie with the grass,
giant trees afar—snugly
fit into my eyes.

Promise

photo of sun setting behind dense bushes and houses

On the horizon,
hovering, a band of hope—
of good tomorrows.

Attractive

Laws of attraction:
drawing in those who pass by—
flowering spiders.
