Dilemma

a footpath in a park, surrounded by green and early-autumn trees, Launceston, Tasmania — Punchbowl Reserve, Launceston, Tasmania

Mildly-trodden path
calls me to a promised land—
to go or stay, awed?

Sight to behold

strawberry bushes in the sunlight, Hillwood Berry Farm, Launceston, Tasmania — Hillwood Berry Farm, Launceston, Tasmania

Basking in sunshine,
showing off to greedy world—
strawberry bushes.

Treatment

various shades of blue on the sea shore, George Town, Tasmania — George Town, Tasmania

Blues upon more blues,
molecular imbalance—
therapeutic sea.

Phoenix

From death and decay,
rises blossoming fruit, life,
bearing decadence.

Healer

Beyond basic blues,
sustained shades of sheer soundness,
lapping by my feet.
