New leaves lke yellow lace

filter late-day sunlight gently,

letting through a fragile glow.

This is no sacrifice for them.

As they drink in the light becomes them.

Our serendipity!

We drink it, too.

Tiny tender new leaves shimmer

when the breeze comes by --

their first experience at ecstasy?

And then as one they sigh,

content.

Some trees bow, bare still --

jealous? or just waiting.

The bluebird will come.
