"wondering"

Winter branches hover
silent and still,
achingly bare...

Are they not weary?
Are they not cold?
Are they not waiting
to be clothed anew in green?

Even so, perhaps they are in some way
content.

To whisper the truth
that we are ALL waiting...

and that it is better to be bare for a time
than to be false.
