Beautifully Naked
Caught nude in public
Nowhere to hide
No shelter to find
So many beautiful coverings
But none found this time.
How shameful it must feel
Your life in tatters
Just like your dress
But you’re still lovely
This I must confess.
You still stand proud
Tall. straight and strong
You know your beauty
Shelter will soon be found
When spring returns and
New life abounds.
Sun and warmth to the
Earth return spurring the
Buds and seeds to burst
Their growth almost a race
Filling your world with color.
In a short measure of time
When all is said and done
Your leaves will return and
You’ll be naked no more.
Sitting in traffic the other day I looked up on a hillside where a single birch tree stood. It's limbs shorn of leaves, it had no coverings at all and I was thinking of how proudly it still stood there all alone waiting for springs return.
