~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bare
branches laugh
at the wind
pushing, pulling, twisting, bending, whipping
its arms and fragile fingers wildly about
but to no avail, the wind's strong gale gives into submission
as the tree stands tall, ready to prevail in the next awaiting battle.

Fragrant buds, bursting forth color, offer the branches a new air for spring.
Petals bloom like an artist's brush splashing pastels upon its canvas.
Hummingbirds drink the sweetness bestowed upon them
while bees hover impatiently like
golden jewels adorning
a new
dress.
