The Breath of Trees in Winter 

The breath of trees anticipates,   yearns mistily for spring scents,
Takes in  the chill of frosts    the thick of smoke
Breaths out     stark light towards  stars
Breezes between filaments 
Roots to trunk, trunk to branch,
branch to stick, stick to twig , twig to bud , 
bud to leaf
Branches divide and grow ,  divide and wait 
Distant thunder .... crows.... smoke  
Patience    standing quietly tall 
Enduring weather's every whim 
Brothers and sisters in arms 
Twigs dreaming bud bursting blossoms.
