The Indomitable Bristlecone Pine
Tortured, twisted Bristlecone pine
clinging to mountain cliff
despite
lashing rain
blasting wind
annihilating blizzards
Bent to the ground
groveling for purchase
Life too precious
to surrender.

Wilma that is a powerful poem! And I love that the photo was one of Lloyd's!
