tree without leaves
radiates strength
winter warrior withstands
soul bared for
all to see
on a lonely hill
 
empty wagon
solitary companion
in a cloudless sky
none care to dine
when cold wind
chases friends
to warmer climes
like pages torn from a
forgotten calendar
fallen comrades lie
uprooted
even the biggest tree
felled becomes only
an unfinished bridge
across a wider river
mirror extends reach
only so far
by the riverbank
sunlight offers hope
golden afternoon
warms the frigid
landscape
pine trees
steadfast evergreen
optimism captured
within silent pools
until blossoms appear
like long lost children
 
then prodigal parents
celebrate as
spring returns
