The scent of pine
unfolds in a symphony of silver
writing poetry across bare skin ~
sharing grace with sunlight
as it captures the sterling verse
of every fallen treasure beneath a tree.
Hands held high
wandering forth in the direction of the wind
shimmering like harp strings
across the bough of my intention
and a hidden seed
charms my life
with a cathedral of wishes
hanging softly from my ornamental crest.

I just love the smell of pine! This piece is amazing hun... I agree with Pamela, I will never look at a pinecone the same... I shall see it as a thing of beauty now
