Unashamed
She lets the cool breeze
Liberate her
Her heavy green gives way to
Gleaming gold
This is her grand crescendo
As she acquieces
To Design
In the coming days
She will be stripped
Of all she once held
Heavily
While we wrestle against
Nature and Man
Making choices
And demands
We throw on layer after layer
As the world grows cold
While she stands naked
Brave and bold
Without shame

Beautiful.
Thank you!
I was so lured to read this and loved the introduction:
“green gives way to
Gleaming gold
This is her grand crescendo ”
It makes me think of a Gustav Klimt painting….
and then following the transitions all the way to the end :
“Brave and bold
Without shame”
I can see my favorite tree through your words. Thank you for your poem.
Ann, thank you so much!
