Survival

Photo of the pre-sunrise light in the sky.

Hazy, the sun tries
nearly swallowed by the fog
makes it through the day

Halo

Photo of a large tree in the morning, with the sun forming a halo behind its top edge.

Majestically
cypress glows in the morning
sun as her halo.

Grow

Photo of the sunlight filtering through dense trees in a park.

Filtering through trees
sunlight shatters on the ground
life pipes up slowly

Blush

Photo of a high rise building with the setting sun’s light reflecting on it.

Cold concrete blushes;
with a light kiss on the face
the sun bids farewell.

Warm

photo of the sun as seen from below with a single white cloud near it, with a large windmill visible in the image

Go well, dear white clouds
bravely chasing the full sun—
scorching, I crave shade.
