Tree of life

Against all the odds;
blueness as vast as the sky,
life endures alone.

Onboard sunrise

Sunrise above the clouds - as seem from inside an airplane — Sunrise above the clouds – as seem from inside an airplane

Promising, it seems,
a light in the horizon—
a brighter future?

A sore sight

Somewhere over the land — Somewhere over the land, probably Australia

A crude watermark,
staining our lives forever—
a nation, suppressed.

To be or not to be

Cloudy sky, Canberra

Cloudy, overcast,
swinging as a pendulum,
mind on windy days.

Inner turbulence

Squirrel on a tree — Squirrel on a tree, a long time ago in Austin, Texas

As deer in headlights,
squirrels scrambling for dear life;
humans in the way.
