Run

Photo of a boardwalk with trees on either side and a clear blue sky.

Amidst tweeting birds

clap-clapping of the boardwalk

I run towards peace

Spray

Photo of a person standing on a rock in Takapuna Bea in Auckland, looking over at Rangitoto Island, at sunrise.

I face the morning
golden sunrise warms my soul
sea spray on my lips

Play

Photo of the deep colours of sunrise, moments before sunrise.

Smearing of orange
staining all of horizon

Beach

Photo of a beach and sunset and a lone surfer in the shore with a surfboard.

Wonderfully calm
sunrise on an empty beach
board-waxing surfer

Present

Photo of the Sky City tower as seen from the street, tree branches covering most of the tower from view.

Like giant towers
city centre attractions
lies—hidden, not gone
