Clarity

Photo of the sunlight reflecting off of the Skycity tower in Auckland.

When the sunlight hits,
sudden exposure blinds you—
darkness becomes clear.

Magic

Photo of a boardwalk and a path on a mountain with flowering trees on either side of it.

A secret walkway
nestled deep in a mountain—
my magical aisle.

Kite

photo of the Auckland skyline as seen from the top of a volcanic mountain

As high as a kite,
standing atop a mountain—
wind beneath my wings.

Cabbage

Photograph of alternating rows of wild cabbages and bright yellow flowers.

Rows of wild cabbage,
sitting ducks on a spring day—
to watch; not to touch.

Gentle

Rangitoto Island, as seen from Mt. Eden summit.

Faraway island,
stretches on the ocean bed,
gently rocking waves.
