AprilDawn Jan 2015
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.
