Making way for the new

Cast away, needless,
as a child with a new toy—
fall leaves in winter.

Unforgiving

Frosty morning in the first week of winter. Canberra — Frosty morning in the first week of winter

A bone-tingling breeze,
lingering in the mind—cold,
as regrets in life.

Chilly days ahead

Trees in the beginning of winter — Second day of Winter in Canberra

Pray to the heavens,
to shower upon us love—
sunshine in winter.

The ode

Cold autumn day in Canberra

The road to winter;
mighty leaves down on their knees,
pay homage to earth.

Goodbye

Autumn leaves, Canberra

Stretching trees, shedding
their dead cells for one last time;
autumn bids farewell.
