Big is small

moon as seen over an old church

Giant silver orb,
a speck on the horizon,
perspective is all.

Calm

clouds gathering around an afternoon sun

Cloudy gathering—
shadows in the horizon,
a mellowed sunset.

Ageing gracefully

Spiky surface hairs,
characteristic of age—
humans are food too.

Silent observer

photo of a quiet lake in the mid afrernoon on a partly cloudy day

The lake watches on
as we glare at its cold depths—
humans, passing clouds.

Seasonal wear

a bald tree on a winter morning

Bark as bold as brass,
the bald and the beautiful—
winter-cloaked gum tree.
