This Too Will Pass

The trees stand bare,

still their branches reach

skyward; arms extended,

holding brave

against the wind.

 

 

 

Leaves litter the yard,

colors of gold and red;

now muted, mingle with

grass turning a seasoned brown.

 

 

 

As the snow falls cold,

I watch the trees

bear the weight,

without breaking,

sensing this too will pass.

    Beautiful

    This is a lovely depiction of nature and I do so feel empathy with the weight bearing tree. Yes ... all this too will pass.

    Lovely write. I pray all is well with you. It is brutally hot here but I think the thunder storms that are approaching will cool things down a bit.

    Know that you are greatly loved.

    Hugs forever - joanne

      Thank you Jo.. It is raining here.. and has been raining since May. There is so much flooding and lifes have been lost. Say some prayers. I am pretty safe and my home is about 2 feet off the ground but many are on slabs and the water is running but I am safe and well. I love you my precious sister..d

    What a way to refect.......................

    on the seasons!!! The imagery here was amazingly vivid. I could see the red leaves mixing inthe brown ground. But the most vivid was the snow, which I LOVE!!! I could see a heavy snowfall falling down weighting the braches as they stared to bend downward to the ground!!! As hot as it has been lately, I would love to see and FEEL a snowfall like that about right now!!!LOL. Thanks for sharing this piece!!!~~Toni~~
