As the weather warmed, I am eager to get out in the garden. However, it is still a bit too early to sow seeds other than a few cold tolerant vegetables such as peas. So, I have taken my frustration out on the invasive honeysuckles at the back of my property. They now have a severe 'haircut' and I have drained some of my frustrations. Afterward, as I sat on the deck enjoying a warm wind and watching bare trees sway, I picked up pen and paper and began to write.
Trees Ease
What is it about trees?
As they sway with the breeze
Always capture my eyes
And releasing soul's sighs
Whether dawn or at dusk
Whether wind's warm or brusque
Their tall dark silhouette
An optic minuet
Inject smiles into thoughts
Brings relief I have sought
Eases pain from my strife
Bringing cheer to my life
Sidetrack strife's aftermath
As I seek kinder path
