Saintly pine guarding the cemetery. Beautiful. Please see this one Amit ji. http://wp.me/p3RQLD-2qY You'll see some similarity in the swaying beard of the pine and the creases of an old man's face in the knobbly branches.
Aah..Father Time! Your interpretation of centenarian makes me very happy, Susan. The writer here marvels at the 100 yrs old Pine! Thanks a lot:) I'm not sure whether Pines guard cemeteries, I have seen some though..
Please see my explanations to the comments above, Ankita, on 'guarding'.. The picture shows a part of Dhanaulti in the upper reaches of the Himalayas near Mussoorie. Thank you for liking the poem and the click:):)
Trees are worthy guardians for sure - succinctly written

I read your lovely, lively tanka, Somali, and wondered at the resonance!

Is it true that pines guard cemeteries? This one certainly does, like Father Time himself. Very fine poem.
