Distracted

panaromic photo of various pot plans and the photographer's extended feet visible in the corner of the photo

Immersed in life’s joys,
surrounded by potted plants—
I forget: work calls.

Unrestrained

photo of the sun setting in the horizon

Weekly team meetings;
clouds seldom contain the sun—
fireball in my throat.

Survival

Close up photo of a pea pod, four young peas visible in the afternoon sunlight.

Winter adventure:
across the English Channel,
four peas in a pod.

Up

Look up to the skies;
amidst a patchwork of leaves,
the sun pokes its head.

Close up photo of the leaves of an almond tree with the afternoon sun in the background, it’s rays visible through the leaves.

Outside

close up photo of the dew drops on a broccoli leaf

I boldly venture;
dew drops on my broccoli leaves,
winter lingers on.
