Rhythm of the Sand Pine

Rhythm of the Sand Pine

Lazily waving in the brisk morning air;
Tranquility of a sylvan setting so strikingly rare.
Flailing her arms like the great timberland bear;
This venerable statesman which none can compare.

A mighty conifer standing in the woodland foursquare,
As mysterious and perplexing as the elusive sea hare.
Ancestral descendants of ancient forebears,
Standing at arms, trespassers beware.

A lovely tribute to a venerable sand pine, Richard. You also ably transmit the feeling of peace in a forest setting. ~ Regards // paul
