shaded by grace and hope

A Dance


During my short, 
and bone-chilling walks 
through the snow I often 
admire the bold Evergreen. 
He stands tall and rarely 
bows to the wind; 
reminding me that 
life and hope prevail. 

Then, today, I looked 
to the great Oak. 
She, too, stands out amongst the others 
with her old brown crunchy leaves clinging 
closely to the branches. 
"I'd prefer the Evergreen," 
I thought. 

Then, I heard her leaves rustle. 
And I realized, the great Oak knows, 
more than any other, 
to dance with each whisper 
of music the wind provides.
