Magic

Photo of a boardwalk and a path on a mountain with flowering trees on either side of it.

A secret walkway
nestled deep in a mountain—
my magical aisle.

Red

Photo of a bunch of red flowers on a tree.

Little red blossom
sat atop a mountain tree
far from scissor hands.

Kite

photo of the Auckland skyline as seen from the top of a volcanic mountain

As high as a kite,
standing atop a mountain—
wind beneath my wings.

Cabbage

Photograph of alternating rows of wild cabbages and bright yellow flowers.

Rows of wild cabbage,
sitting ducks on a spring day—
to watch; not to touch.

Dreamer

Photo of a gnarly old pepper tree with a twisted trunk.

Twisting on itself
the magic faraway tree,
poses for dreamers.
