of Hemlock and Pine - a Tale of Two
By Hunter Long
Once upon a time,
There was a meeting
Of a Hemlock and a Pine
While of the Northwest,
Hemlock did not hail
From the western side within
The Land of Trees Evergreen.
Over the Cascades, his homeland
Filled with soil of such substance.
Valley, of green and rust.
Desert, Haven, Heart
Yet, Hemlock could not but long
To catch his eye upon a sight
Of life within the Emerald City.
To the east of the West,
Pine was raised in and amid
A Hand of the Midwest,
The Land of Lakes Great.
Here, in his homeland,
Sat a site made monumental.
Big House, of blue and maize.
Center, Church, Bastion
Still, Pine could not but want
To turn his ear out for a call
Of life alongside the Sound.
Within the City of Goodwill,
Hemlock and Pine did find
Branches and roots intertwine,
Woven between, in, and out.
Joys, Sorrows, Lives
Then, Pine would bind Hemlock
Amid their thicket, among each other,
Of and on their life’s seventh ring.
Now, the time is upon us
For these two to join as one
Tied in a knot, tightly wound.
Match, Marriage, Matelotage
Of a Hemlock and a Pine.
We’re getting married!
