The February sunshine steeps your boughs

and tints the buds

and swells the leaves within.

Even if something is left undone,

everyone must take time to sit still

and watch the leaves turn.

In my neighborhood

Just before the death of flowers,

And before they are buried in snow,

There comes a festival season

When nature is all aglow.
