Air

Close up photo of a small purple flower surrounded by a dense green bush.

Small purple flower
in between the wilderness
coming up for air.

Fail

Close up photo of a vibrant, green fern tree.

We fail constantly

seeing blurred crumpled edges

forgetting green grass

Try hard

Photo of a suburban street with green native trees and a single deciduous tree with vibrant red leaves.

People try too hard
to stand out from the others
unlike autumn trees

Old

Photo of a branch of dried up, shrivelling fern leaves.

Drying up fern leaves
browning, crumbling, shrivelling
old age comes to all

Sides

Photo of a fern plant with vibrant green leaves, and one leaf flipped over and silvery white.

Stays hidden mostly,
another side of ourselves;
a gale hits, leaf flips.
