Microsoft Bing: DALL-E 2

denuded of foliage 
left with the bare essence of my existence
a gnarled unassuming frame
from which new life will burst forth in spring
firmly anchored in fertile soil 
the terroir for the vineyard 
selected with care
basking in the watery winter sun 
incapable of turning my head for the best aspect
consoling myself with the fact
that my tender tri-lobed leaves 
will harvest the energy from the sun
but for now,
I content myself
to relish the well-deserved rest
