Chance nautical corvettescent mileage
Of the topical travels terrains
Amongst the bonding trips
Of rain collecting in the waters
Playing pines lake valleys
Rivers running amongst solitary confining drifting pinewoods
Colossus forest mountainous trees
Timber fallings burning ambers
Crawling igniting forcing steams
As the rain flower converges on the populous dreams

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2021
We drove down the lushy serene hill side
cherishing the cool drive through shaded woods
with cascading waterfalls alongside
Intoxication by fresh pinewoods
made us stop to breathe in the misty woods
A decade later this paradise bled
horrendously naked in rocky bed
Under the dusky sky stood the outline
of a dark bare tree with its ribs outspread
A forest fire had scorched out all pine
