Trees that have stood
so stark and forlorn
are sprouting new leaves
as Spring brings new life.
Summer brings fulfillment
with trees full and shapely
casting their shade
with life at its fullest.
With Fall life has slowed
as leaves begin to fall.
Days grow shorter
and living has taken its toll.
In Winter trees are bare
and life seems weary
in need of a rest –
a time for sleeping.
