warm shadows


to remember
the basic goodness
of this place

walk down a path
of copper brown pine needles
on a warm day

and
stand
in the shadows
of their mothers and fathers

  6. The shadows are warming so your northern spring is well underway.

    Love your words, your images, the way your heart beats. Thank you, Steven.

  7. I grew up in the land of pine trees...as a kid, I thought there were only two kinds: pines and my Grandma's Dogwood. :)

    Pines and I have a small disagreement in the spring when the pollen makes me sneeze, but then I go back to enjoying their straw for my flower beds and the cones make a great bird feeder for children to put together.
