Blond Hair Shimmering – v2

Her blond hair shimmering
in low morning sunlight
accented by chartreuse and goldenrod
the sun hiding, not visible
behind the house across the street
Only it’s light, shining
lighting up the willow tree
the branches hanging, filaments, not dreadlocks
light blond hair just washed and combed
each strand illumined, as if from within
bright, glowing, calling my attention
touches of green bleeding through
where the shoots are blooming
bursting, hastening spring time
just days away now
