Halo

Close up photo of a juniper bush with winter dew.

Winter dew lingers
halos around junipers
breath vaporises.

Up

Photo of a partly cloudy sky as seen from under the branches of a small tree.

When life lacks lustre,
look up from under a tree—
world looks different.

No tears

Front -facing photo of the author’s eye, aglow in blue light.

Scrolling through chaos,
no wonder we are dry eyed—
aglow in blue light.

Bird

Photo of autumn leaves on a branch, with the tree’s branches coming in from the left side of the photo.

Tiny, red, bird-like;
migrating for the winter:
leaves flying off trees.

Being

Close up photo of a white daisy.

Lining my sidewalk,
seeks no appreciation—
a daisy just is.
