L'aura del Campo

Perennial [140]

Perennial

in winter shadows it sleeps between cracks in the walk

in winter shadows dreams of warmth, the light it once knew

in winter shadows, dead to the world, it rests ignored

but even winter must surely pass and shadows fade

as winter melts it stretches and yawns—and grows one leaf
