Perpetua

Photo of the gravestones of war veterans in a cemetery. — War veterans’ cemetery

His duty was done;
into the valley of death,
rides next consignment.

We see

Photo of a thin rainbow in the horizon, against a blue sky.

It rains and it shines,

to see the world in new light,

we reflect, refract.

Unconditional

close up photo of the face of a golden retreiver, lying on his side, drooling

Reflecting myself:
the eyes of a drooling dog,
yearning for true love.

Let there be colour

Close up photo of pink-tipped leaves of a bush

Frustrated painter,
swings arms, cracking her elbows;
sprays trees with colour.

Endurance

panaromic photo of a tall bald tree stump

It takes great courage,
to stand taller than the rest;
enduring bald tree.
