    One Pine Forest

December is inscrutable
as  the winter wind that
plays its sad laments on
bare-bone trees and
the vacant moon which
sails the still, chill
sea with a vast starless
sky of tattered clouds
rolling forever in from
nowhere and on to nowhere.
A frozen silence slips
through this frosted
forest world around
one bleak and lonely
pine standing apart
yet unyielding ...
we are one.

There is much beauty in the starkness you paint, and the stillness has a certain elegance.

Very pretty...

Thank you !

December is difficult but perhaps not as bleak, bare, and bereft
of all hope as those that Anton Pavlovich Chekhov 'wrote' ?!
               (there is minimalistic beauty and Zen)

I love to read you and place myself there in midst of your scenery, inhaling all the silent, peaceful beauty.

Captivating!

You always paint such lovely pictures with your words.

Thanks, Trina !

I was once an oil painter ... more 'challenging' and interesting to 'paint' with a word-brush of light, though !
