Coniferous Evergreen

Coniferous Evergreen

An as is shot of our favorite “Standing Peaople” or Pine Trees near our cabin ;)

A tree that cannot be confused with any others – I must concede
Its evergreen branches conceive cones, while some conceal seeds
The pinon, with a taste like confection, which connoisseur birds feed
I must confess, the one most condusive for my eyes, is the blue spruce breed

These trees do console my winter spirit with their life so consistent
Continuous shelter for the falcons and birds, whose travels are distant
Unconditionally they give of their flesh, which contain constructing assistant
In addition to needs for economic growth, we’re convinced and persistent

An icon Sequoia, the tallest conifer of all, towers as high as days in the year
The only species able to conquer death, by conjuring life, when its base is cut clear
Conservation efforts aplenty, on the Pacific coast despite a consumerism frontier
I’ve had many conversations of concern against so many black marketers

My conscience speaks loudly to those driven by greed
Who try to convince me – when they’re condensed, they are much like weeds
I’m interconnected to those who contribute to my medicinal needs
By no means conventional, though content with success and Godspeed

The traditions of Christmas, I will not conform to, by cutting one down
A concept of constraint, receiving no congratulations, but frowns
When we light our live one out under the constellations – the only in town
It’s our own beacon to condole all conifers slain for a holiday crown.
