A Pine Example
A Pine Example
Put yourself way back -
among the first humans,
crunching and freezing in deep new snow.
The very first people
to walk among snow-clad pines -
majestic under crystalyne weight,
yet thriving beneath the freeze -
took comfort in the sight.
And strove to do the same.

Excellent... to live by example.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I hope they did. Perhaps they just wanted to get warm and find food. 🙂
ReplyDeleteOh, I could feel the cold and hear the snow crunching beneath my feet. Quite lovely on this hot summer day. Wonderful, thank you for taking me there!
ReplyDeleteThey quite possibly did make that reflection. I'm sure early people were far more attuned to nature than we are. (Jane)
ReplyDeleteSuch a brilliant take on the prompt 🙌

ReplyDeleteOn this warm morning, your pine quadrille was so refreshing, Chris, and it was so easy to slip back in time to join those first humans. I love the line ‘crunching and freezing in deep new snow’ – so simple and so effective – and I can understand the ‘comfort in the sight of snow-clad pines’.
ReplyDeleteI loved this, from the opening to the end
ReplyDeleteNice! A Pine Example as you say!!
