Carry on Tuesday #63 ~ This week our prompt is a quote from the Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran:
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
NOTE: As much as I love the writings of Kahlil Gibran, I don't really agree with his thought.
I believe that leaves have a role to play in love.
They are the strength behind the seasonal beauty of blossoms and fruit!

Naked silhouettes
Cold seasonal skeletons
Like sleeping spectres
Leafy silhouettes
Fresh cyclical beginnings
New awakenings
Bright blossoms and fruit
Like gowns of bountiful love
Sweet juices of life
Trees locked in just leaves
A kind of lonely gypsy
Like partly living
But seasons roll by
Change is a part of living
Winter will return
In the darker times
Nurture the blossoms and fruit
Find strength in the leaves

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Nicely done! I like the spareness of the opening images--then the lushness that comes with growth and change.
I must say that a completely agree with you about leaves! What a lovely poem about the tree of life.
