“When leaves fall from the trees, do not despair, there’s beauty in a tree that’s stripped bare.” Once I encountered trees looking divine Sun had just set and the trees were sublime A scene that was a magnificent find The image will stay forever in mind. Silhouette trees enchanted by twilight Stately they stood adorning the skylight On the cusp between winter and autumn The trees were bare, as their leaves had fallen. I’ll never forget that elegant scene In my mind the picture is safely screened If I never see such a vision again In my heart it lives, in a golden frame. Alike a setting in a fairytale For me the beauty soared off the scale ‘Twas nature displayed at her very best A moment that was truly heaven blessed.

I like how your poem captures a fleeting yet deeply meaningful moment in nature, where the bare trees, illuminated by twilight, symbolize a deeper beauty found in simplicity and transition. Your reverence for this scene is clear, and the imagery and tone convey a profound appreciation for the natural world. This poem speaks to the idea that beauty can be found in unexpected places, and it encourages the reader to find grace and elegance in all stages of life, even in moments of change or loss.

So true. Sometimes trees shed all their leaves and acquire a beauty of their own. A unique poem. Merry Christmas.
