Skeleton Trees
Skeleton Trees
The leaves are forgotten
No echoes of green
The leaves are forgotten
None to be seen
Outlined black skeletons against the snow
The branches crooked and gnarled with age
The snow blows …..Lightly
Yet they never bend
The snow blows …..Furiously
Yet now they bend
Their strength against the winter
Earned a long time ago
They stand so proudly
Knowing they will survive
As nature well knows
As nature well planned
Inspired by the trees in my son's back yard
