".. wind in the Pines.."

 

Wind in the Pines

First, the branches sway
then the sound,
a peaceful, distant train
a song up high

Thoughts of years ago
Fishing, hunting near a stream
Father at my side


Near the lake
the pines sway
Camp chatter heard before the dawn
and family starts the day


Crystal clear the pine reflects
Peaceful, ripples, quiet water
The loon calls , love reminders
joy to the day



The sound again
the wind is heard
The cabin below the pines
Children play and wood smoke
fills the air, the mountain high


Moonlight pierces
Through the branches
Clouds break in the night sky
as the wind, in the pines quiet the night


A rainbow, a sunset
 sentinel pine
years and years stood so high
Shelter to all beneath
And a joy to see one last time

Clouds break in the night sky
as the wind, in the pines quiet the night

A rainbow, a sunset

years and years stood so high
Shelter to all beneath
And a joy to see one last time
