The
Poetry Of Michelle Angelini
beneath
purple pines
branches hover
purple-coned guardians to action
and partner with zephyr-like lull-a-byes
in a place east of the sun
where staccato wings beat
no warning
one hunger satisfied
one life taken
one silence returned
fallen needles absorb life's fluid
top
A
Tree in Season
Spring
I am of this earth
budded arms show auspicious transformation
from chill winds which bared them
Summer
Leafy dressed appendages
offer islands of coolness
from merciless sun
Autumn
Before renewal and rest
spectacular departure
of swirling flame-tinged leaves
Winter
Bared arms
stretch into the blue
silent supplication
I am of this earth
