Another year dying
Under scurrying clouds
Trees breathe in
Undressing proud
Mantles of burnished gold
Naked as the truth

ReplyDeleteThank you for reflecting Bonnie.
DeleteYou could say it's dying, but you could also say it's preparing to be born again!
ReplyDeleteThat is also true Steve. Thanks for reading.

Please look after the springtime and send it back to us next March.
