Beauty, Longevity, & Gratitude

Sixty-five year old

Cherry trees in deep decline

White lichen the sign


They've exceeded their

40 year expectancy

by twenty-five years


Breathtaking gifts to

 the world each spring, yet they've asked

nothing in return


Lichen does no harm

Mother nature's housekeeper

Gives beauty to death
