Price

Photo of the parliament building of New Zealand in Welling.

Grandiose buildings:
thousand-dollar suits and boots;
cost of living bills.

Dream

Photo of a cloudy sky and a green landscape as seen from the window of an airplane.

Bright blue horizon—
buckled into a tin can,
refugees dream big.

Coat

Photo of a mountain covered in trees. Sugarloaf reserve in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Like moss on a rock
mountains blanketed with trees
protect life within.

Love

Photo of a walking trail, surrounded by trees with large canopies.

Walking down the aisle—
birds sing, twigs crunch underfoot,
to wed adventure.

Growing

Close up photo of the stump of a dead tree with tiny plants growing on it.

Forest foster home
nurtures the young and needy—
heart of a dead tree.
