Naked Beauty

you have shed your worn out loves
like leaves
from past years’ seasons
old wounds left exposed
no longer needing leaves to hide them
your arms are now open to the warmth
of a new sun
fears of killing frost put aside
your mature naked beauty
strong
rekindled with the vigour of youth
rooted in a life of experience
