In a landscape pruned of humans
Sheltering in isolation at home
The magnolia bursts forth radiant
Undeterred by a pandemic or unrest
Oblivious to the plight of its inhabitants
Growth transforms our environment
Magnificent blossoms
Flash soft delicate colors
Tiny moss green leaves unfurl
Smooth organic shapes
Increase in size day by day
Gradually leaf out
Scent of air on the breeze
Sounds of winds movement
Branches hover
Almost embrace
Proud accomplishment
Springs abundance goes
Almost unnoticed in dire times
