It is the sunlight shining
through wind-blown trees.
The promise of Spring’s return.

New buds.

The russet autumnal leaves
crunching crackling underfoot.
The frost of Winter season.

White clouds.

It is daisies pushing through concrete;
Dandelions scattering their seeds.
Summer stillness over the moors.

This is what we have.
This is all we need.
