Alive

Photo of the sun setting in the horizon.

Blues, pinks, oranges—
summertime sunset colours,
living canvas, sky.

Wildlife

Photo of a wallaby in a suburban street, standing on the front lawn of a house.

Startled at first sight
wide-eyed with piqued interest,
wilderness meets life.

Cosy

Photo of a white cat sitting on a bed, looking at a movie scene on a laptop screen.

On this silent Eve,
gently purrs the grizzly cat—
Christmas movie night.

Hold

Close up photo of a tightly bound bud of a yellow flower.

Wrapped up quite tightly,
flower bud clings to future—
as a baby’s palm.

Turn

close up photo of a bottlebrush flower on the tree, well past its prime, with a few petals remaining — Bottlebrush

The end approaches,
though spring blossoms cling to trees
seasons turn around.
