    silently slipping
    into separation

    Saying so much about the "protagonist" in a few words. A great one imo. Thanks for sharing!

    Very nice!
    Pines so patiently guard nature, staying green.
    I remembered a short poem by ‏Yone Noguchi:

    ‏ I hear you call, pine tree, I hear you upon the hill, by the silent pond
    ‏where the lotus flowers bloom, I hear you call, pine tree.
    ‏ What is it you call, pine tree, when the rain falls, when the winds
    ‏blow, and when the stars appear, what is it you call, pine tree?
    ‏ I hear you call, pine tree, but I am blind, and do not know how to
    ‏reach you, pine tree. Who will take me to you, pine tree?
