Green

photo of the sunlight filtering through the fronds of a fern tree

When you see the light
filter through layers of trees—
future is bright green.

Bee

Close up photo of a bee in a bunch of flowers.

Flower to flower
tramping, finding her own feet,
young bee loves her life.

Ageing

Those tiny grey hairs;
ancient ferns, shrivelling fronds,
gracefully ageing

Shiny

photo of the sun shining through the trees

Shining down on me,
tiny diamond in the sky
nestled among trees.

Judgement

I clamber uphill;
raising judgmental eyebrows,
rolling their eyes—trees
