Before The Night




Before the night, once green you grew
autumn marking your days too few,
burning leaves dance against the sky
plummeting from crowns swaying high,
gently on top the ground accrue.

Yawning sunrise wrings off the dew
in gusting winds again you flew  
with twists and turns ever so spry

   before the night.

Bare branches pulling sunlight through
burnt memories now bid adieu;
beauty one can never deny

days changing seasons with a sigh,
snowflakes flooding the skies of blue
   before the night.

    The poem considers that a tree through the seasons has its beauty for that time and in a particular setting. In speaking to the tree in the second person, the poet speaks to each reader. The reader is reminded that a person may be beautiful through the seasons of a lifetime "before the night."
