The sleep of trees

If only
we could be
more like trees
and give up the
whole summer
in an inferno of gold,
then go to sleep.

If only we could bare
our souls like that,
stark to the winter’s night,
then sleep like babies
in innocence and trust,
until called again
by the spring’s
sweet dawn.

Mmmmm. What a nice feeling. To steal a line from the unfolding head, that does resonate.
