late march

truth be known

i enjoy

winter

but this one

has been extremely 

long

and i too

am ready 

for birdsong 

and blossoms

a tiresome virus

has kept me in

even on nicer days

but at last 

i am feeling good again

and ready to embark

on a leisurely walk

so it’s off to the park

getting out of the car

i glance up 

to the tops

of yet bare trees

in their nakedness

they charm me

offering a beauty

never seen

when  summer’s leaves 

are lush

and green

Look up my friends. See the silhouettes of branches bare…..while there is still time. :)

"Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore.There is always something to make you wonder…..in the shape of a tree or the trembling of a leaf."  Albert Schweitzer
