Unashamed

October 24, 2016 By Juanita Ryan 2 Comments

The maple shed her golden garment
disrobing piece by piece
to stand through winter’s storm
unprotected, unadorned—
a gnarled skeleton
draped in ancient, ill-fitted skin.
Her exposure
awakens an ache of awe in me.
Naked and unashamed
she stands.
Breathless, I gaze
at such beauty.
