Pray

Photo of a leafless tree nearby a church, with the afternoon sun shining from behind it.

Worthy of worship,
the tree outside the chapel:
halo around it.

Heat

Photo of the sun’s glare, in a diamond shape, with an almond flower-laden tree.

Laundry rejoices—
diamond blazes in the sky
in depths of winter.

Sunshine

Close up photo of the flowers of a purple-podded pea plant, with the afternoon sun in the background.

Soaking up the sun,
veins reviving in the warmth,
young peas look alive.

Remote

Photo of a laptop on a residential garden waste bin, in the backdrop of a flowering garden.

Makeshift standing desk,
fresh air, and warmth on my back;
working from my home.

Leftovers

Close up photo of water droplets on the leaves of a rose bush.

Lingering on leaves,
mere hours after morning frost:
droplets; so doubtful.
