She lay
below the
leafless tree
her mind
as bare
and
her thoughts
as brittle
as the cracklingly dark branches.

Violent times,
dry winds of change,
false illusions
by heavy laden
powerful
misleading
clouds
that moved away….

But she,
of great patience,
seeing a hint of sun,
lay there,
watching,
waiting
and counting days,
when
the clouds would pour,
the breeze would brush
around her,
and the world would become
peaceful and green
once again…
