Trees Across Seasons
Forest trees are defrosted
by rains -
they look as though they
were frozen through time,
only to wait for spring
to boast their greenness.
As the hands of time move,
the trees protect birds,
chipmunks, and lovers
from the burning sun.
Later,
with no shade to give,
and no burning sun,
the trees begin to shed
their leaves,
creating a natural carpet
all around them.
Naked and wary,
they wait for winter to mummify them....
