The presence of the Evergreen
how boldly she stands
commanding only
that we are grateful
for her beauty
how effortlessly she sways
in whispers
making pure
the air we breathe
how tenderly her pyramidal silhouette
fills the surrounding domain
with protection and hope
how humbly she invites
the glow of
sunset's golden embers
to ignite her pine candles
accenting her adorned humility
Ever reminding us
the nature of peace

The presence of the Evergreen

commanding only
that we are grateful

how effortlessly she sways

how tenderly her pyramidal silhouette
fills the surrounding domain
with protection and hope
how humbly she invites
the glow of
sunset's golden embers
to ignite her pine candles
accenting her adorned humility
Ever reminding us
the nature of peace
Ever since I was a little girl
there was an Evergreen across the street
Day by day we watched each other grow
Only in recent years did I realize how she far surpassed me in length
all 50 feet of her
I began to notice at sunset how she would call to me to look at her, though not with words,
but golden hues igniting her branches
like a warm fire scouting out my soul
The peace I felt was like a spiritual awakening
that which only nature could supply
One day someone informed me
they were taking her down
I became grief-stricken over it..
like the loss of a close friend
I've had a longing for her ever since
I have never experienced another tree call to me in that way, though nature continues
to call
