Sidewalk

closeup photo of an iris by a train station

Train stop irises—
a teardrop in the ocean,
look, but never see.

Journey

Ambitious rocket
snails towards destination,
readying for launch.

Seeker

close up photo of a flowering plant slightly leaning towards the sunlight, taken just before sunset

Growth spurt of a plant—
layered, our mind is complex,
leans towards the light.

Resilient

Pushing through the dirt
despite death and destruction
soldiering on: weeds

Comfy

Indulging themselves,
nestled in thicket of youth,
ageing ancestors.
