Oak Stark and Contrast

stark

conrast
longing
mystery


without your leaves

i see your bones

stark and contrast

against a grey

and foggy sky

the space between

illuminates your depth,

reveals your true shape

etched in branching patterns

charcoal in my mind,

as it reels

memories of a season turned

of love relinquished

life on the tail

of a headwind

in all four directions at once.

restless

winter charmed

explosive emotion

played out in heavy rain

up on the hill

so proud and loud

walked in circles

unraveling layers

complexities of youth

of age

of truth

light returns

your leaves return

i return

to the mystery

dormant, abrupt

longing.
