The Trees At Night Seen

On the grassy lawn
A tree with the buds
Have turned to leaves
When there is darkness
An image appears
It is a face of-
A full grown lion's
face seen

By the front window 
Is a bush budding
It has the green buds
Soon will turn to leaves
When darkness appears
There is a lion's face

Making shadows of animals upon the walls, in dimly lit rooms, is brought to mind by this mysterious, lovely poem, Darlene. Much enjoyed! :)
