The morning Sun splashes its pallid lemon hues onto surfboard shaped leaves.
Their deep olive shine shakes
in the light wind;
the illuminated shades of its Dove-colored
branches reach for the Sun.
A dark Tiatian breast with dusky wings
are still
as they sit deep within this early flush of Summer. The tree is a sunlit decor.
Bittersweet moments,
of a time in a hospital,
the thoughts of freedom-
felt vicariously
through a staff person when he leaves-
he can buy a creamy,
sugary coffee;
he can peruse through the books
of a library,
at the new bookstore;
he can go for a bike ride,
he can go for a walk…
