Guardians

photo of a tall church, just before sunrise

Ancient guardians
towering over traffic—
churches on sidewalks.

Wake

photo of the pre dawn colours in the sky, with a few trees silhouetted

Silhouetted trees,
butter yellows, baby pinks,
sunrise; brave new world.

Morning, sunshine!

foggy morning in Goulburn

Through my window bars,
descending, cold as judgement:
early morning fog.

Unfurling

video of fog evaporating in the morning sun — Mornings in Launceston, Tasmania

Curtains rise slowly,
a world prepares for wonder;
morning in the hills.

Work day

Early morning on a summer day, just before the vehicles came, Canberra

Unbalancing life,
in the wee hours of morning—
the wheels of fortune.
