Trees of life

Photo of the Western Australia landscape as seen from the window of a plane. Green forests appear as patches in the desert.

Tiny blobs of life
coloured green, outside the lines,
trees keep us nourished.

Build

Photo of multiple high-storey buildings as seen from the top floor of another high-storey building.

We make those buildings
constellation defying,
masking our night skies.

Rolled

Close up photo of a yellow rose bud, with tightly wrapped petals.

Roll of fresh bank notes—
happiness for most people;
tightly bound rose bud.

Cycle

Close up photo of a brilliant red rose, with two red rose buds in the background.

My garden rose blooms,
to keep brilliant bees buzzing—
somewhere a heart bleeds.

Almost

Close up photo of the bud of a grevillea flower.

Flowers on the edge:
waiting to burst into song,
dancing into spring.
