The trees whisper secrets of desolate parks and abandoned streets
Pine trees stoically endure the drought's relentless grip
Keeping their distance, their branches cautious, never to entwine
In the tangled pleats of uncertainty and shifting winds
—
With the arrival of July, prosperity blooms in vibrant hues
Their roots intertwined, deep in the earth's nurturing embrace
Limbs reaching skyward, eager to touch the heavens' expanse
A symphony of spring unfolds, as they gently caress the sun's warm cheek
—
Two steadfast trees, standing resolute, side by side
Their growth intertwined, sharing the burdens of barren land
Where roses once bloomed, now withered and long gone
Leaving two pine trees, locked in a tender embrace
—
Beside the still tarn, they sway in rhythm's sweet embrace
Whispering melodies, as time dances on their boughs
