With trembling longing
I contemplate the falling leaves
Of autumn
twirling gently to the sodden earth
in golden cascades of red yellow and orange
With trembling anticipation
I await the wondrous budding
Of spring
arising in pink rose petals
like hair atop a glorious head
breaking through the carpet bombing
of a chemo blasted baldness
Dancing wildly with thick entangled curls!
Curls caressing the warm lavender Spring!
