Comfy

closeup photo of a bushy green fern with a brown branch in the middle

Indulging themselves,
nestled in thicket of youth,
ageing ancestors.

Blast from the past

photo of a tree with a neon green light on it

We light up our trees
to recall how they once looked;
luminously green.

Shady

a canopy of banana trees as seen from below

Constantly shadowed
by a canopy of green,
life wouldn’t be so bad.

Aspirations

a long full-length shadow of the author

A larger than life
giant looming over ants;
my shadow dreams big.

Pause

closeup photo of a small plant with long spindly leaves

As we strut through life,
tiny bushes brush our feet,
grounded, down to earth.
