bare, but not broken

when green turns 

golden and dry,

and eventually descends

to the crunches of the earth,

my branches lay bare. 


i am bare, 

yet you stand tall next to me,

full of life and vigor,

radiating vibrance

and warmth in the midst of the jarring cold.


because of you, i can live

in the rawest of months. 

yes, i am bare,

but i am not naked,

for i have you to lean on when my branches snap.
