Green

This year we waited a long time for spring. The leaves were late bursting out on the trees; good for an abundant supply of wildflowers that vie for spring sunshine underneath the trees.

Last week the woods finally turned green; its brilliance filled the eyes; so beautiful in its once a year appearance that it can make even the most appreciative melancholy. It is a beauty that happens seldom and it is a shame to miss one year of it. It is a reminder that life is, indeed too short.
