Conifer Pines



green needles,
sharp and strong,
they stand.
winter's cold embrace,
cone-bearing,
evergreen,
life persists,
through snow and ice.
they kiss the sky.

    I like the poem! In its short form, it captures the essence and nature of existence: the persistence of life and love in their ever-changing forms.
