Weeping Spruce
by Steve
Rated: E | Poetry | Nature | #1880390
Inspired by a tree that I often encounter.
Yon weeping spruce
so brave and so strong
relic of designs long past.

Your friends they are gone
long shredded to dust.
What luck!
that this old man
still stands.

Blue rugged needles
adorn haggard trunk.
Many branches long dead
dry and brown.

Like sparrow and wren
I shall miss you old friend
when next
they lay waste
to this ground.
