Leaf In Spring

Categories: Trees

I’d like to be
A bud
On a tree
In Spring
Drawing up sap
Full of potential
Awaiting the warmth
Of the sun
To unfurl
A life opening up
A beautiful leaf
To drink in the rain
No mark or stain
Shining
Bright
Bringing pleasure to all
Resting secure
One of many
Sharing the branch
At the start of the year
With my peers
United.
