Unloved

close up photo of a tree branch that's cracked and breaking down

Cracking, breaking down,
growing weaker every day—
unloved tree gives up.

Hero

photo of a pair of work boots placed as if a human standing in an arrogant stance

Standing though at rest,
boots take a powerful stance—
working class hero.

Mirage

photo of a glass building, reflecting white clouds and the blue sky, as seen from below

We crave luxury—
look up to high offices
that mirror nature.

Quest

photo of the O'Sullivan Beach as seen from the distance — O’Sullivan Beach, Adelaide

Seek serenity:
struggling through slippery slopes,
stepping into seas.

Scarred

Battle scar trophies
lining a veteran’s arms—
tired old peach tree.
