Shedding vanity,
marking the passing of time—
winter skeletons.

Shedding vanity,
marking the passing of time—
winter skeletons.

Fresh, uncorrupted,
and bubbling with energy—
nature; toddler’s mind.

With a trim, fit sheen,
paving a path to progress—
trees changing seasons.

Wintry sun, the son,
radiating defiance,
against trees, parents.

Full bodied, complex,
as rich, well rounded Syrah—
in your face, the sun.
