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

close up photo of a dry, old, peach tree bark

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

Embrace

photo of a tree's branches as seen from below, with the sun streaming through the leaves

Arms sprawling outwards,
embrace the warmth of the sun
as ancient trees do.

Invisible

close up photo of a grass hopper on a pavement

Insect and human,
along busy city streets,
walking unnoticed.

Facades

close up photo of the bud of a sunflower, starting to unravel its layers

Sunflower bud’s life—
a multi-layered affair;
everyone wears masks.
