Oh mighty pine
–
You were born
to live long with pride!
Having grown from
a small cone with head high
Surrounded by
family or alone in countryside
Withstanding
droughts and fires, storms and cold nights
Enjoying snow,
rain, and sunshine
Sheltering
birds, insects, moss, and vines
Watching
sunset and sunrise
Staring at the
stars in dark night sky
Wondering
about phases of moonlit night
Bathing in
dawn’s early light
Witnessing
time passes by with season’s rhyme
Hearing cyclic
stories of deciduous nearby!
But without
knowing –
You would be
terminated depriving long natural life
Along with all
supported insects and vines
Leaving birds
homeless without shelter so cozy and high -
As logger’s
saw would cut through rings without a sigh
Selling body
parts for lucrative civilized sites
Making mulch
from your branches so full of life
Fowl smell would
replace enchanting odour of pine!
Some will
protest quietly, a few may cry
Consoling with
hopes you left some cones in the wild!
I will protect
siblings growing in yard with smile
As long as I
can raise my head high!
