Holding Firm

I sit in this old tree swing
listening to the breeze
rustling through the crisp leaves of the pin oak.

Even now,
on the first day of Spring
they hold strong
refusing to return to the ground.

At a glance
so fragile,
yet when challenged
they hold firm to the dream,
refusing to let go.

Would I?
