Under The Sheltering Pines

Carpeting brown beneath canopy green,

Layer on layer so spongy and plush

That the sole of my shoe makes no sound

As I stroll through the stand,

So endearing, I dare not to rush.

Afraid I may miss the sweet laughter of robins

Proclaiming their conquest

Pulled fresh from the earth.

I seek out their nesting place every springtime,

Amazed and bewitched at nature's rebirth.

 

But the pine is a constant.

It always endures.

With roots running deeper than diamond mines.

So blissful to saunter,

Admiring the view,

In the shade of the sheltering pines.
