Evergreen
jade firs stood on grass-grown scene
her slope swathed in verdant sheen
white frost came, a friend so dear
the woods remain, ever green

Evergreen in Winter
blue pines sparkle
under snowy gray sky
on top of voluptuous hills
the evergreen in Winter -
their slant suggests skiers,
and worshippers
around a bonfire - the red house.
the main house in uplift
on the port hill

IN THE EVERGREEN OF HOPE
IN THE EVERGREEN OF HOPE
In the forest of despair,
The evergreen of hope,
Firmly rooted,
Stands in the mist
Of the saws
Of injustice:
Her tired body
Having withstood
The fires of debilitation
And devastating mudslides
Of eroding equity and justice:-
Like her ancestors,
Seek, knock, and ask,
The evergreen of hope
Cannot, and will not,
Be rotted away
By political fungi
Of deceit,
Nor racist bacteria
Of eroding unjust laws:-
Though in its shaded

Lake of Blue
JANUARY 2024
Hello, person.
My person, who bathes and drifts in the steaming lake of blue
And chirps a melody of solitude
While strumming the oak guitar for the blaze.
Hello to you--
If you want to hear my thoughts.
My person, whose eyes bleed of the weeping willow's dye,
Who holds the warmth of the stars in their skin,
Who holds the wisps

A Tree Falls - In The Forest
If only you could see
the forest for the trees
it would feel so good
for then as an evergreen
you'd be out of the woods
and if you cared for me
going out on a limb
tho' not on bended knee
I'd ask you to become
a branch of my family
so near and yet so far
you touched me to
the roots of my heart
and

evergreen shade
the holms evergreen tree was
like a sherlock holmes twin
without his sensory
probe-abilities...
and probably holmes
accelerated his own
probe-abilities just
for sheer luck...
especially out in parks
where there be so
many women who
sought men as shade...

Evergreen Hearts
TREE of love, adorned with care
TRUE the bond beyond compare
TRIMmed with lights, our hearts ignite
TIME can’t dim this sacred light
TUNE of carols softly hums
TURN the page, our love becomes.

Snow Angels, Snowpeople, and Evergreen Trees
Snow Angels, Snowpeople, and Evergreen Trees
When winter comes, children know how to have fun.
Laughing and catching snowflakes with their tongues
Or lying flat on their backs with arms flapping up and down
While swinging their legs in and out in unison;
Then carefully standing up to step out of the area
To marvel upon the angel shapes they’ve created.
Or

Evergreen Free
Curling swirling tenderly
To grasp and gasp and breathe the light of life back into me
Touch the skies with vines so like the fibres of an inter-mingling woven tapestry
Dazzles my eyes as I look at the flickering leaves, the pupils they do please, they tease
The rays pulsate, they dilate
It's a whispering love of an

Evergreening Grace for Deciduous Faith
I ponder, lying pale upon my bed;
my head a 'roaring deep in notions... whys.
My thinking moves to plans for my demise
with comfort from my Lord in what He said -
I go to build your palace overhead;
just keep believing, death will loose the lies
of those who groan with transitory eyes.
