Pray

Photo of a leafless tree nearby a church, with the afternoon sun shining from behind it.

Worthy of worship,
the tree outside the chapel:
halo around it.

Heat

Photo of the sun’s glare, in a diamond shape, with an almond flower-laden tree.

Laundry rejoices—
diamond blazes in the sky
in depths of winter.

Sunshine

Close up photo of the flowers of a purple-podded pea plant, with the afternoon sun in the background.

Soaking up the sun,
veins reviving in the warmth,
young peas look alive.

Flying colours

Photo of the sunset over the wing of a plane, as seen from the window seat.

Life of adventure:
chasing work and promotions;
sunsetting on air.

Wakening

photo of the morning sun as seen through a zygo cactus

Little ball of hope
seeps warmth into stiff cold limbs;
winter sun on plants.
