Shining

Photo of the sun setting in the horizon, as seen from the 35th floor of a hotel room in Sydney’s CBD. — Sunset from the 35th floor of a Sydney hotel.

Sparkling golden hour:
the sun folds in on itself;
red wine stain remains.

Unrestrained

Weekly team meetings;
clouds seldom contain the sun—
fireball in my throat.

Up

Look up to the skies;
amidst a patchwork of leaves,
the sun pokes its head.

Close up photo of the leaves of an almond tree with the afternoon sun in the background, it’s rays visible through the leaves.

Watch

Photo of the sun setting behind a group of trees, as seen through a window.

Peeking through bare trees,
an eye in the horizon—
tiredly the sun sets.

Rise

Photo of a plane’s wing as it lands, with the wing flaps engaged.

Stretching lazy limbs,
cracking joints and waking up,
overnight plane lands.
