Kicking Up Thoughts

this breeze stirring around kicking up my thoughts like these leaves the old oak stands, weathered almost bare shivering on the hill his layers scattered through the wind yet i wonder why is a tree bare in the cold of winter yet fully dressed in the heat of summer? i myself shiver just at the thought of that cold wind brushing against him as i add depths in the layers of my thoughts to regain warmth

- I think of the bear as I read this poem, Sandra ... the trees will go into a "hibernation" ... not feel the cold ... maybe an idea for us humans too :) - A lovely poem :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

the things in nature that make you ponder thoughts...it's something i have wondered time and time again...the trees dressed in the summer benefit us more than themselves... thank you my friend :) hugs

Is it possible for someone to melt into a poem? I don't know but I am sure going to try. This poem literally took my breath away. Absolutely beautiful. I am finding myself at a loss for words, all that keeps running through my mind is beautiful. Sigh.
