Dec 2015
In spring ...
Bright, strong and straight
Filled with moisture
Prominent veins on your skin
Strong winds blow, you flutter
Producing a dance show
At night you are quiet
No eyes to see
In summer ...
Color slightly faded
Wilted from the heat
Crying out for rain
Trying to hold on
Nights are warm
Stars pierce the night
Illuminate your shape
In autumn ...
Color transformed
To red and orange
Parched skin a translucent fabric
Death is near
Edges curling
In winter ...*
You are invisible
Bright, strong and straight
Filled with moisture
Prominent veins on your skin
Strong winds blow, you flutter
Producing a dance show
At night you are quiet
No eyes to see
In summer ...
Color slightly faded
Wilted from the heat
Crying out for rain
Trying to hold on
Nights are warm
Stars pierce the night
Illuminate your shape
In autumn ...
Color transformed
To red and orange
Parched skin a translucent fabric
Death is near
Edges curling
In winter ...*
You are invisible
