interior side of bark
from the Lone Pine
a mosaic of time
Circa 1783
Forest Farolitos
shimmering
on the forest floor
pine luminaries
Beginnings
tiny pine
sets sights
on the sky
OH Tannenbaum
thirty years tall
you carry our Christmas wishes
all the way to the stars
Family Of Pines
distinct yet together
beside each other
through all
No Longer A Stranger
in nature found
a reacquaintance
with self
Veneration
pine boughs bow
in reverence
to snow and cold
In The Shadow Of
big pine
mountain’s watchtower
storm guide
Fire In The Sky
sunset
glowing like
a warming hearth
In The White Quietude
like fresh snow
tranquility settled
over everything
