Secrets

Photo of two tombstones in a cemetery with trees and plants around them.

Chamber of the dead;
while life bustles overhead,
entomb old secrets.

Bright

Photo of the sunset’s glow as seen from the window of the plane, with the light in halo around the plane’s engine.

The horizon’s bright:
my flight is a metaphor;
adventurer’s life.

Park

Photo of large trees, their leaves turning colour and dropping, with a mirror way overhead in the far distance.

Walking by a park;
above, the motorway roars—
below, some leaves crunch.

Winds

Photo of the sun’s outline visible from behind storm clouds.

Life’s hazy at times;
sunshine behind stormy clouds—
the wind will blow on.

Teamwork

Photo of a tall tree, surrounded by a forest of other trees.

One in a hundred;
tree contributes to the team,
exhales oxygen.
