I seem to be on a ‘nature’ kick these days.
Looking out my office window at the trees around
the house are hard woods; mostly maples and oaks,
their branches bare.
Little buds are appearing and wonder of wonders
tiny leaves begin to appear and grow and stay with us
for the next six months or more.
Soon I won’t be able to see much because my
view is a forest.
We humans are lucky to see how Nature works.
Without us having to much if anything. How sap moves
up through these bulky trunks that at the moment look
dead to us in those frozen winter months. Yet they spring
to life all on their own. No real help from us.
Writer’s comment: Warm weather arrives not at first.
Without a little chilly breeze which hangs around before
disappearing on its own. Summer is next and after what
we’ve been through we’ll welcome it with open arms.
Soon we’ll be shedding our coats and scarves and
Whatever and watch Nature take over without us
having to do little to help.
