Trees in Winter
Would you be surprised
if I said I love trees best in winter?
Of course leaves can make them beautiful.
But in winter you see to the core,
the heart of a tree. The soul maybe.
You can see that each limb
is in precisely the right place.
Every curve fits perfectly
into the whole, with balance and grace,
especially on a day like today,.
with soft snow outlining a
whole grove of mixed species.
The world seems a magical place,
crisp white highlighting above each limb.
A whole woodland, peaceful, cold, quiet
and patiently dreaming of spring.
