Drown

Photo of heavy, dark clouds on a beach, in a swirling motion.

Rounding up the troops,
marching to the horizon,
dark clouds drown the sun.

Wake up call

photo of the sun, just as it rises above the ocean horizon

Father ocean calls:
there’s light in the horizon;
awake my dear sun.

Warmth

Photo of a path of luscious pine trees in the middle of a large area of sand by the beach.

Patch of greenery
in expansive sandy bay;
coffee on cold days.

Yearning

photo of a pandanus palm tree in the foreground and the ocean in the background

Weeping pandanus,
leans in towards the ocean—
yearns for sea spray’s kiss.

Glint

Photo of the sun reflecting on the ocean, creating a glinting surface.

Smiling at the world,
sun sits over the ocean;
diamonds on water.
