Green Leaves

Images of yesterday,
Green leaves of my soul,
Burn bright into today.
Fragile arrays of color,
Held captive by time,
Released by the same.
Beauty remembered
On long winter nights
When time creeps by.
Frost-covered limbs,
Immersed in icy cold,
Dormant lie.
Awakened, they stir,
Barren becomes green,
Alive once more.
