Long Needle Pines

Long needle pines
chant in a gentle breeze.
I sit motionless.  Bathed
in the canorous drone,
feel the tremors
of life’s longing,
the ring of ageless wisdom,
sense the strength
of stoic serenity.
Would that I could take root
and join them
                   …….in their moment.

Pines are one of my favorite trees, Swirl them gently to produce euphoric music.
