A Leaf Unfurls

See all of the buds upon the trees watch closely as slowly one unfurls each tiny weeny leaf stretching out one by one peeling away from the buds Turning their faces up to the sun some sticky buds much longer taking all sorts of shapes and different sizes as they grow and cast their dappled shade On the tender plants hiding below shade lovers of stunning colours scarlet red Hostas amidst bluebells the trumpets waving on their long stems All the sun lovers blooms open wide drinking in the heat beaming down tulips bright with merry stripes all the colours of the rainbow Swaying gentle in noon heat tall hollyhocks stately bend the early promise of a rose scents abound flooding senses So easy to lay back and drift off sun shining down heats the skin bees droning gathering nectar such an idyllic place to rest awhile ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
