Shattered by a stone,
perfect crystal clear waters;
tumor in love’s brain.

A fallen soldier,
looking up to the others,
hoping, autumn leaf.

Modern architect
colouring outside the lines—
quirky old buildings.

clouds gathering around an afternoon sun

Cloudy gathering—
shadows in the horizon,
a mellowed sunset.

leafless tree against a black sky illuminated by a street light

Tethered to one place,
diligently spreading light—
Mother Earth’s routine.
