Fairy Trees

Fairy Trees

in my wood 
there are lithesome
trees of delicate winter hue
a grove brings love
and sisterhood into the 
the darker  few.

they dance wild, among storms
cued across the mountains,
touching one another
with thrashing limbs
holding fast their roots
deep within the soil.

summer breezes 
bring lacy crowns
of palest tender green
they bow and bend  
with courtly pomp
toward each sister tree.

then fall, again, 
steals green away
replacing it with gold
but still they stay 
steadfast and true
to promises of old.

John you make me blush but I accept you vote of confidence with great equanimity. Then I'll walk calmly into the woods and do a few happy dances where no one can see me.
