a sort of beauty that one is hard pressed to find in the wild in such abundance. The wind cajoles them at their ends and rushes through the bunch of them like some happy puppy romping in the wild.

Still but not silent, stable but not voiceless. The allure of the heat is truly amazing. People walk out to stare at the surroundings with hazy lilted eyes that catch the eavesdropper wind as it maps out it’s shape by rushing through the throng of trees and weeds and bushes and the stark crackle of the sinewy branches is something else.

The whole bouquet is somewhat earnest with it’s truth and vitality.

Just as you deserve. And just as they do.
