Conifer Spirit

I welcome the seasons

For you never change

 

As the scarlet leaves of autumn descend

As quiet crystalline snowflakes blanket the land

As the scent of blossoming flowers coalesces

Into the lingering heat lightning of summer

 

I find you in the lingering sunlight of dusk

In the afternoon breeze that rustles the alders

In the sparkling newness of silver dawn mists

 

And we are born each minute

And we die like ephemeral mayflies

 

As we softly inhale the eternal essence

The lush blanket of life that flows like the Amazon

The cascading reeds that carpet the shoreline of the Nile

 

Our spirits always returning to the rivers

The shoreline

The mountains

And the sea
