Waiting

An art installation consisting of three chairs, two facing each other and one, the opposite direction. The Anne Frank memorial in Wellington. — Anne Frank memorial, Victoria Park, Wellington

She waits for her life:

for the chairs to be sat on;

music to begin.

Balance

Close up photo of a cup of coffee with a swirling art.

Swirling in a cup,
yin and yang; coffee and milk—
a balancing act.

Shade

Photo of a hiking trail during the early afternoon, through a canopy of oak trees.

Stands the mighty oak
under the scorching sunshine
sprinkling shade on me.

Finding your feet

Photo of a rocky hiking trail strewn with dried, yellowing, leaves.

Treading new pathways,
slipping into adventure:
dried leaves on old rocks.

Unseen

Photo of an empty street in Christchurch on a summer evening, the last dregs of sunset on the tops of still trees.

Quiet urban streets;
burrow-worthy, sun-kissed, trees—
city teems with life.
