Sunrise

Photo of the sun rising behind the Skycity tower in Auckland, as seen from the suburbs.

Bright summer mornings,
sunrise on the horizon—
rays of happiness.

Life advice

“Reach high for the skies!”
they said; not “operate cranes,”
as they should have said.

Wave

A pop of colour—
lilies along the sidewalk,
waving to strangers.

Unknown

Photo of a ghost-shaped metal pepper shaker, its arms wide open. It's one of a set—the salt shaker that would slot into the arms is missing.

Longing for a home
like a doll in an op shop;
embrace the unknown.

Gently

Photo of ocean lapping on the rocks by the shore.

A gentle caress;
cosy cat’s brush of a tail—
ocean laps her rocks.
