".. 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





Wind in the Pines

Near the lake

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

Snow covered memorial stones  Snow covered stones with those we love below Names covered - “How will they know It is us that lie?”  Far bene...
