Remember When
the trees
are green
once more
a shimmering green
the wind teases
diamond drops
on the lobes of leaves
wink
the trunk its rivulet skin
frozen in winter
and burned in summer
feels the fall
the rush of Spring
life is new again
easy to see
the beauty
in fresh cut grass
and friendly flowers
rivers that run through the woods
like rabbits
there’s a song in every tree
a buzz bye
the symphony sounds
imprinted
in the inner ear
fill the stillness
when it’s cold outside
and all the green
is gone
