Pine Seductress
The first time I saw her
There she stood
Just a silhouette
Breathtaking
On top of a hill
Tall and elegant
Alone and free
Long youthful mane
Swaying ever so gracefully
To the beat of
The summer breeze
So nonchalantly waiting
For the pageant to begin
Her procession of suitors
And they did come
One after the other
Lovers taking turns
The Sun and the Moon
Coy and coquette
Never letting on
Blissfully content with
This cycle of seduction
Never feeling pressured
To pick one over the other
This went on for years
So it was natural that
Her aging neighbor
Understanding and mature
Became a confidente
As I looked on to
These two faithful friends
Almost accomplices
In this wave of deception
One friend in her prime
The other quite weathered
I wondered if
It even crossed her mind that one day
Youthful looks may give way
To the needs of building another fence.
