Bare bone trees
Stripped of leaves
Stand stalwart through winter’s cold
Recall spring’s tender greens
Full of new life, fresh energy
Remember summer’s robust leaves
Flower and fruit gifting life
Recollect fall’s brilliant colors
Red, gold, orange, yellow
Gray limbs against a gray sky
With life’s energy dimmed
Rise confident yet
Rebirth anticipated.
Lovely poem! We must keep that touch of spring forever in our hearts, through all the seasons of our lives.
