Far

photo of the ocean from a boardwalk — Hallett Cove beach, South Australia

In my own trapped mind,
a sailboat in the distance,
ocean between us.

Cycle

photo of a bicyle path with large luscious trees on either side, with dried leaves strewn all over the place

Pedalling forward,
down an aisle of greenery,
home to the gumtrees.

Perseverance

close up phpto of a strawberry on a bush, with a slight reddish colour

Striving to bring joy,
pushing through compacted earth—
gardener, garden.

Eyeing

photo of gumtree tops as seen from below, with two big patches where the cloudless blue sky is visible

Peering through gum leaves,
watching wonders of below—
brightly blue-eyed sky.

In plain sight

close up photo of a laarge echinopsis flower on the right side of the frame and the cacti on the left, with a couple of branches of roses visible in the photo

Unassumingly
a giant cactus blossoms—
amidst rose bushes.
