EVERGREENS

 Evergreens

proud & tall

seemingly without 

a season

yet

have seen it all 

from the volcanos 

of our hearts

to the sobs

of our tears.

Evergreens remain

the monolith

within our souls

demonstrating

our fortitude,

strength

and  

perseverence

when

snow falls

and

tears freeze seemingly

halting growth 

yet actually

bringing us inward

into the Truth

into the Love

into the Light

into Peace.
