Under appreciated

Photo of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge across the water, with a large fig tree canopy overhead.

Unfazed by the world,
extravagant monuments:
trees by city lakes.

Peace

panoramic photo of a wild canopy of Moreton Bay fig trees on Hyde Park in Sydney — Hyde Park, Sydney

I gawk at the skies:
it peeks through wild canopies;
heaven in cities.

Blooming

close up photo of a small white flower with about ten small petals, with more of the same flowers in the background

As shattered glassware,
breadcrumbs on the forest floor,
mushrooming flowers.

Peacekeeper

panoramic photo of a large tree in the middle of a walking track in a na

If I’m in their way—
giant trees, unlike humans,
let me pass in peace.

Alert

photo of a tall tree trunk, with little hair-like branches growing on it

Standing on the edge,
against cold-hearted humans,
hairs on a tree stump.
