Never judge

Covers can mislead:
rugged blemishes on trees—
life indicators.

Fall

Dangling on tree limbs
twirling, swinging, tormenting—
leaf, watching husky.

Ancient

Old, spotted, wrinkled—
testament to life well lived,
grand dad eucalypt.

Yearn

photo of a tree stump with a hollow opening on it

Looking to the skies,
wishing passing clouds would stay—
forests and farmers.

Goodbye

photo of a brown autumn leaf on the ground, taken on the second week of winter

Fragile and fading,
welcoming clear tomorrows—
dying leaves, bodies.
