Calm

photo of the sunset behind storm clouds, emiting a deep orange colour, with a rose bush in the foreground

Sunset before storm—
a ripple of burnt orange
magic in the air.

Wave

Hat tip for the sun,
welcoming wave to the moon—
roses in the breeze.

Seize the day

When the young shut off
and shun the world, the mature
smile with open arms.
