But do not feel sorry for me. My woods are filled today with multiple shades of the wild flame azalea.
I am "held in abeyance by a great leaf wall every shade of green we can imagine." (lines from "Walking Up With a Friend."

..."held in abeyance by a great leaf wall" lines by Nancy Simpson
My window on the valley closed. The curtain has been drawn, so I no longer see the ridge line.
But do not feel sorry for me. My woods are filled today with multiple shades of the wild flame azalea.
I am "held in abeyance by a great leaf wall every shade of green we can imagine." (lines from "Walking Up With a Friend."
