A naked month
The leaves mostly gone
The grass fading brown
The gray landscape
inching toward winter
Only the proud pines
stand out
like sentries guarding
old hillsides
Green pitched gems
reaching for heaven
Tall straight shafts
with strong backs
stand in the wind
While all the others
are down in their roots
afraid of the solitude
the pines have
learned to embrace
with grace
