The blond hair shimmering
in the morning sunlight
the sun hidden, not visible
behind the house across the street
Only its light, shining
lighting up the willow tree
the branches hanging
light blond hair just washed and combed
each strand illumined
bright, glowing, calling my attention
touches of green bleeding through
where the shoots are blooming
hastening spring time
just days away now
