There Lingers Dignity

Cassie58

for now cascading branches greet the sun 

whose kind embrace grows weaker by each day 

with courage leaves like artists on trapeze 

cling fast to brushwood tendrils as they sway 

soon greenery will tire of this dance 

as creeping gold replaces verdant hues 

the splendour of the change the season brings 

a wealth to match a velvet sky of blue 

such elegance on show for all to see 

short-lived before the jealous wind takes rage 

to steal the foliage left upon our birch

ensuring all remains an empty stage 

yet even in its naked form to  me 

this tree surpasses all in dignity

                Thank you Andy. Yes, I think we can be classified as tree huggers. Pleased you enjoyed my out of season poem. It’s an old one. Have a great Wednesday.

                A most beautiful metaphor and image. The reality of the picture so nicely worded to bring this picture to mind and in metaphor it strikes a deeper chord. Very nicely done Cassie
