IT WAS A MUSE TO THOSE THAT SAW,

THE MANY HUES IT ALWAYS WORE.
VELVETY GREEN WHEN IT WAS WARM,
RED AND GOLD THROUGH AUTUMN STORMS.
WINTER ATTACKS, LEAVING IT NAKED AND BARE.
LEFT WILD AND EXPOSED, BUT NOBODY CARES.
IT WHISPERS ITS SADNESS IN A WINTER BREEZE,
NOBODY LOVES A TREE WITH NO LEAVES.
UNDRESSED YOUR BEAUTY IS RAW AND BOLD,

YOUR EMPTY BRANCHES LOOKING SO COLD.

STANDING PROUD FOR THE WORLD TO SEE,
HOW BEAUTIFUL A BARREN TREE CAN BE.

Sweet, sweet burn of sun and summer wind, and you my friend, my new fun thing, my summer fling. ― k.d. lang

I almost wish we were butterflies and liv’d but three summer days – three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever…
