Last summer, thickly clustered emerald leaves,
deflected the scorching sun from my face, yet
they have thinned until only a few dangle freely
throughout the open weave of twigs and branches,
sparkling like earrings of ruby and gold
as the cooler autumn sun filters through.

in the spring,
allowed me to listen to chirping baby birds;
in the summer,
surrounded me in bursts of happy colors;
in the fall,
enriched me with golden splendor.
Yet, in the winter,
I choose not to sit in its beauty
but to enjoy it from afar.
The cold, white fluff, gently laid
while I sleep, is a scene
I don’t have the heart to disturb.
It’s purity soon enough is breached
as it transforms beneath the sun,
but I’ll enjoy the untouched wonder
for as long as I possibly can.
