Morning rituals

Summertime sunrise, Canberra
Canberra’s sunrises are as glorious as sunsets

Rise every morning,
in search of light, clarity;
chase the horizon.

No reason to stay

Clear skies on a winter morning, Canberra

Clear skies, green signals,
bare streets, waiting horizons,
prepare to take off.

Window scenes

White, light on sight,
as swans in a lake
flowing with a breeze,
fluffy puffs of spring
glide across my gaze.

As tiptoeing at midnight
lest we awaken ghosts,
floating, beyond reach—
like truffle, treacle tarts,
hover those clouds.

Wake up, walk out

Morning walk in Pasadena, California

Seeing fresh fruit ripe

the fruits of early rising
