Beautiful Day


A lace of branches
across the painted sky
the world is dressed up
and waiting for time to pass by.

Leafless


Black branches against brilliant blue
whispers of clouds wandering by
winter’s silhouette.

Outlines


Nature traced the line of every branch and limb.
She favors highlights in white.

Snowcaps


The branches wear snow caps,
fluffy hats of cotton white,
at the behest of old man winter.

Bare

Naked branches await
their winter coats of white.

Height

In the morning, beneath your canopy the whole world glows a growing green.
If I started to climb your branches now, by midnight I could touch the stars.
