One drop of water

One drop of water
evaporated last year
still creates ripples

Light through my window

Light through my window
the moon visiting a man
king tide stirred inside

Moonrise is postponed

Moonrise is postponed
it's government policy
they'll decide what shines

When the heat passes

When the heat passes
a reminder to find calm
look up with wonder

As it is above

As it is above
changing shape and infinite
so it is below

Two birds in a tree

Two birds in a tree
one leans over the other
regurgitating

Dark clouds overhead

Dark clouds overhead
rain bounces furiously
revealing hailstones

While you were sleeping

While you were sleeping
I could not help but admire
your tranquil beauty

Without this photo

Without this photo
could I be sure to have seen
the colours of dawn

Blank wall reveals growth

Blank wall reveals growth
floodlights are outpacing trees
the stars are outshined

What price do we pay

What price do we pay
for seeing buildings at night
without the starlight

Stirred early morning

Stirred early morning
unsettled by fleeting thoughts
around the edges

My grandfather said

My grandfather said:
"Three moves is good as a fire."
What can I carry?

Sharpening their beaks

Sharpening their beaks
sitting on an antenna
two crows wait for dawn

We've peeled back petals

We've peeled back petals
our pollination bore fruits
light falls between us

Distant television

Distant television
blinking from light years away
twinkling star tonight

Summer noon twilight

Summer noon twilight
parched landscape takes to the sky
blown furiously

Lizards disappear

Lizards disappear
tails sticking out from purslane
abandoning ants

Weeds are overgrown

Weeds are overgrown
at night the garden transforms
cool leaves brush my feet

Disquiet Junto

Disquiet Junto
a little bit descriptive
not too prescriptive

Temperatures ease

Temperatures ease
the sun starts rising later
summer is passing

Kookaburra laughs

Kookaburra laughs
in the middle of the night
rain is approaching

Enthralled each morning

Enthralled each morning
reflecting on adventures
I can’t wait to dream

Dawn interrupted

Dawn interrupted
casting stripes across the sky
apricot and blue

It gets easier

It gets easier
the painful reminders fade
memories brighten

The dog up the street

The dog up the street
barking happily tonight
as summer rain falls

My dreams are a balm

My dreams are a balm
soothing my anxieties
changing my outlook

Exfoliating

Exfoliating
callous experiences
remaining supple

Sunrise wind rises

Sunrise wind rises
pushing galahs to the west
from branch to tree tops

Serendipities

Serendipities
resonances in our lives
sensing a magic

Each passing moment

Each passing moment
dots connected in our lives
only in hindsight
