Twigs

twigs
write love letters
in the sky
limbs clutching
cotton grey stationery
in hurried branch scrapings
to spill it’s ink
in tumbling talk
written on
the edge
of a heart beat


just some words cut out
from the diary of my heart

Beneath gray clouds
Above low fires
Across the silver moon

As geese fly by
They take the mail
For lovers far from home

This made me think of everytime - in the winter here the poor trees are nekkid - but I say to my son, look!  

Because all you can see are the birds nests . . .

so yeah . . . they sure do, Helen.

I absolutely love this, Helen...

You painted the picture beautifully...
