Taste of Evergreen Butternut air, heavy with morning Vapor sits softly the hollow spaces of widespread arms Holding chick, shelter of hawk, smiling wider full frame Catching rain drops, released as snack to thirsty scrub Keeping cool the floor, shedding bedding and mat Sunlight filters through the thistle down of new growth Diffused along the thorn of pretense, wistful and rich Russet cone, sweeter in the fire, supple in the wind Stand tall, over-looker of vastness, aged wise and still Created to be prophet and sage, given bough and girth Deep root, to hold the earth from fear…mourning and glee To be welcome here, among such charming host A friend, and patron spread among the canopy so proud Green in every season, time aloud Green, surrounds the bounty, set a table on the floor Hungry for the peace to taste of Evergreen once more Copyright Kkh 5/7/06 |

K, this is such a gorgeous write. I felt refreshed reading this, captured by the imagery and the scent, the new feathered downy life force you've shared. Am keeping this with many other treasured writes. |
