JosephLord in Poetry & Free Verse

Those young leaves unfurl,

Shaking off the melting snows,

Lost in morning mists.

Though they may not see ahead,

They surge and, in sunlight, grow.

I am that white snow.

Shaken off, and left melting.

My wetted eyes watch.

And the young leaves do not see,

That there are two mists for me.
