Glassy

Photo of the sunrise reflecting on glassy, ocean waves.

Broken shards of glass
sun rises, catching the cracks—
short, sharp morning waves.

Rise

Photo of the sun rising on a winter day, over the beach the sea shells glinting in the light.

Heavy fog rises
fireball erupts in the sky
tiny shells sparkle

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
