Hurdles

Summer sunset, my backyard in Canberra

Ceaseless power lines,
durable as humankind;
clog in nature’s heart.

Summertime showers

Sunset during rain, Canberra — Rainy sunset, Canberra

Setting sun goes on,
while the damsels in distress:
unsettled clouds, weep.

Enduring

Shattered and twisted,
seeking hope amongst the clouds:
life within felled trees.

The walk

Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra on an autumn afternoon — Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra

Towards the future,
walking down a bronze-flanked aisle,
pathway to heaven.

Gather

Storm clouds gathering over Canberra skies

Natural order,
possessed by a shady cloak;
the coming of storm.
