_The Pine Tree_

I see a pine tree,
 a lofty pine tree, set high into the sky; whenever I see it,
I remember an arrow, fixed into the ground. Grand and magnificent against the skyline:
seen by everyone, admired by all. And I think, might I be like it; like it in its
grandeur, like it in its magnificence. Soon may come a time, when I may not remember
it, when I will never be the same.
