27 february
the winter wood is filled with secrets
that the summer leaves will cover
tiny heart-shaped seed pods
that look so very delicate
they open to release their seed
into the wild world
but they stay behind
and cling to the branch through
snow and arctic gale
I can't help but feel some
unexplainable connection to them
though I would choose to be the seed and not the pod
I cannot help but see the beauty
when I look back toward home
What a striking shot! Gorgeous edit, too.
