Palms

A

single frond

reaches outward, catching

the warm sunlight, each slender

green leaflet dancing in the salty sea

breeze. It sways like an emerald feather,

gently by the hands of nature,

bending

softly

to

the

ocean's

rhythm,

a

delicate

and living

green ribbon

suspended in the

warm morning air, resting

quietly upon the wind, anchored

for now to the strong, sturdy trunk
