leaves of green, a beacon when all is grey and old and the cold bites at our fingers. and thus, life. crawling from the depths of frost and leaving its hiding-hole, visiting the surface in a calm resolve. bursting toward our vision, coming forth in a wide array of bright and dark. wide and shallow. all different, yet all the same. visions of a new day that circle our eyes and crawl to our senses letting us enjoy the truth.
