Only Time (Day 1328)

The trees can feel it coming

but do not abscise 

their leaves from fright   foregoing 

autumn splendors. 

Neither will I.

Gray days and frigid nights 

of gently fizzing snow 

hold little terror

only time

and time 

enough to grow 

somnolent and vague   

in need of spring   which will appear

at its own pace.  You see?

The trees can feel it coming.
