Sail

photo of boats docked on the coast, with the sunset's last rays on top of the sails.

Summer sun kissed sails—
on shore I stand longingly
gently rippling waves.

Happy

photo of the crater at Mount Eden in Auckland, as seen from the summit

High, we find ourselves
so ecstatically drunk
on fresh mountain air.

Point of view

Photo of wispy, orange clouds at sunset, as seen through a plane’s window seat.

While life feels hazy;
everything’s out of reach—
it’s sunset on air.

Guiding light

Photo of a big cloud at sunset, surrounded by and orange glow, as seen from the window seat of a plane.

Vibrantly orange
leaping ahead of our plane,
ghost cloud leads the way.

Ready

Photo of a Qantas plane stationary on the tarmac.

Decked up and ready,
primed to take the storms head on—
pilot grabs the mic.
