"Despair"

"As the night falls...

Life slowly comes to a halt.

As my roots run dry,

And the life seeps away...

A new dawn

Will fail to drive

My despair away..."

(Photograph of a dying tree by the Bow river in the spring of 2007; quite in contrast to the previous post!)

"Spring Leaf"

" I am like a spring leaf,

looking up at the blue sky,

in hope,

and in anticipation,

of times sunnier,

than the days gone by."

Again, this one is dedicated to Swati
