Happy

photo of the afternoon sun filtering through a giant gum tree

Permeates through leaves,
nature’s antidepressant:
afternoon sunlight.

Almost

Close up photo of apricot flower buds on a tree.

Cold feet wearing off,
the buds are ready to pop
spring is almost here.

Felled

Photo of a pine tree as seen from below.

Dreaming of the skies
we run amongst giant trees
felling them for gains.

Limbs

Photo of several trees’ branches crossing over each other, on a cloudy winter morning, as seen from below.

Roaming our sidewalks,
awry limbed shadow figures;
paintings no one sees.

March on

Embrace the tailwind,
our universe is cheering;
march on, brave soldier.
