The Magnolia Tree

Outside my window I watch you since winter began to hold your beauty close... I will protect you from the rain and cold as you wear your grayish-green coat... when Springtime comes you will release your sweet perfume exotic in all its splendor! Your beautiful flower like hands will open fingers uncurling your beauty hidden in winter... ~ ~ ~
