Trees Through the Seasons

What beauty is beheld by the loveliness of trees its leaves are a crown of glory a living wonder, changing with the seasons. In springtime, new branches welcome the sunlight green leaves eagerly appear birds busily nest between dappled light and shadows. In summertime, trees are a haven from the heat wrapping leafy arms around a weary traveler like a protective mother. In autumn, trees throw a riotous pageant, as leaves turn into a blazing show of fiery reds, brilliant oranges and bright yellows. This majestic affair lasts but for a brief while, when a sudden curtain call causes leaves to fall, leaving a colorful carpet in its wake. As winter creeps in, trees underscore the sparse chill of the season as bony branches shiver in the wind. The cycle of trees ever turns from season to season its wonder and glory endures through the ages. Written on 1/14/2019
