Poetry
Hemlock
So cold
Snow lies heavily
On Hemlock boughs
Frozen clumps
Icing on graceful green
Languishing white
Weighting sleep
Wind lifts
Laden wings
Feathers of crystal
Flutter free
Towering arb
Aged and strong
200 years
Proudly borne
Silence of life
Strength of soul
Wisdom of time
Unhampered by all
