Comfort

a panaromic photo of a canopy of fig trees in Hyde Park, Sydney — Hyde Park, Sydney

Warmth in a cold world:
fig limbs meet in the middle,
nestled in clasped palms.

Tree

photo of a jacaranda tree in full bloom with a few green leaves here and there — Jacaranda tree

Specks of greenery
spotted in a purple sea—
jacaranda blooms.

Native

photo of a Moreton Bay fig tree and its widespread roots — Moreton Bay fig or Moraceae, a species of trees endemic to eastern Australia

Engulfing the earth,
casting its roots far and wide,
native tree reclaims.

Showoff

photo of a tall gumtree just after the rain

With renewed vigour,
flaunts its luscious head of hair—
gumtree after storm.

Out

Photo of a double rainbow with dark clouds in the background

Braving through the storm,
painting the skies in rainbow,
the sun’s coming out.
