for the sky
limbs held high
swirling sunset
draped like a cape
about rigid shoulders
finally
that velveteen night
sprinkled with ghost stars
hides your frozen frame
for a few tame
hours
until the haze
of morning
streaked
with a tiny tease
of sunlight
highlights
your barren offering
Spring seems so
far away
you stand firm
against
the naked elements
drawing
graceful patience
from
age old roots
in the slumbering soil
raising hopes
sky high
for an early
vernal equinox

Jan 24,2015 I do so love the easy elegance of leafless trees at late fall and winter as they highlight the coldest of seasons . The anticipation of spring is always joyous.
