Lace

 


Towering,

stripped,

exposed,

besieged by winter gales,

beleaguered partners

giving voice

to the wind.

 

Guardians,

protectors,

anchors,

branches straining upward,

lords of the woodland,

lace against 

the sky.

  1. What a beautiful description of tree branches! I will see them differently from now on!

  2. Hi Ann,
    I love those branches against the sky. Your nod to lace reminds me to look again, and now I see them against the sky, not moving up toward the sky, the fine branches snaking out from the trunk remind me of tendrils, a warm and wild word, which evokes movement even though at the moment they are quite still against the clouds, the only movement the falling show.
