June 27th

timid candlelight

ivy grabs imperfection

veiled behind red brick

April 10th

Roused from their slumber

bearded green men stretch their limbs

verdant hands open

 

Driving to work I noticed the trees looked like people, some of them had beards or cloaks made of ivy, they were no longer naked, forced to stand through the dark winter. Leaves were growing on their cold limbs. Their arms were stretched up rejoicing in the Spring. This time of year is wonderful. I keep saying it don’t I?
