AN ODE TO THE WINTER TREE

A leafless vision clothed in honesty,

a skeletal splendor clad in candidness,

rippling branches speckled with white,

… the winter tree is a mirror image of truth.

I love how shedding its summer timidness,

abandoning its mysterious veil of green,

no longer dancing to the tune of restless winds,

it stands upright with a raw, unembellished,

unfettered confidence

– a silent tribute to the serenity of nature,

the splendour of science

… a love letter to the timelessness of time.

That proud magnificent trunk – the barest,

most beautiful face of the elemental

Those giant naked limbs – stripped of foliage,

disrobed of pretenses, devoid of defences

…ready to share their most intimate confidences

with those who have the capacity

to look beyond surface appearances.

My lungs rejuvenate with vitality

as I inhale the beauty of those bare branches

laced across changing skies,

making me grateful for the

winter tree’s role in my aesthetic evolution.
