Golden Grasses Under Snow Covered Branches

Tree in Olbrich

What do the trees know?
To bend when all the wild winds blow.
Roots are deep and time is slow.
All we grasp we must let go.

Red Leaf, Afloat in the Prairie © 2007

Caught in golden grass
As red oak leaf drifts to earth
Seeks freedom of wind.
