Dance

Photo of a leafless tree, with the early sunrise colours in the backdrop.

Wind scattering clouds,
like dancing stick figurines—
bony-limbed old tree.

Rise and shine

Photo of the pre-sunrise glow in the horizon.

A prolonged labour—
then gloriously crowning,
sun rises; rejoice!

Foreshadow

Photo of the sun rising from behind the Rio Tinto building (amongst others) in the Perth CBD. — Perth city

The sun shines over
new Rio Tinto building;
calm before the storm.

Like no one’s watching

Photo of a line of gum trees at sunrise, gently swaying in the breeze.

Dancing to sunrise,
grooves to birdsong in the breeze—
lemon-scented gum.

Frames

Photo of the horizon just before the sunrise, as seen from under the canopy of a large fig tree, its low-lying branches and the grass framing the horizon.
