Dead Tree? – Appearances can be deceiving

 “A cold wind was blowing from the north, and it made the trees rustle like living things.” – George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

The tree throws off it‘s leaves, drawing in its energy, preparing for the battle.

It appears dead and for many months, no life appears.

But beneath the surface, vitality runs, coursing through its toughness.

Don’t be fooled by the appearance of fallen leaves,

for deep in the coldness the tree yearns. Soon

the leaves will return and I will

find shelter under the branches

of what appeared

to be, a dead

tree.
