high along the timber line
in everlasting green expanse
there is a colony of brave young shoots
that dare to change their dress
to yellow
preparing to face the winter naked-bare
their fair white skin
vulnerable as they are like the snow
but they stand together unafraid
because beneath the ground
the golden aspens hold each others' hands
though on the surface
they are quaking
