Confidence

Standing on its own,
unabashed by staring eyes,
bald and bold blue gum.

Light therapy

Slowly drawing strength,
steadily exposed to light,
the young thrive outdoors.

Emerge

As the seasons turn,
growing from the inside out—
bottlebrushes bloom.

Up

Brave little flower,
breaking out of its restraints,
defies gravity.

Fight

My neighbourhood Groot,
fighting for a greater good—
future of our earth.
