Ancient Guardians

Primordial wood
Sheltering the cells of life 
That shall sustain us







*Inspired by Raul Moreno's contest, "Solace in Nature".

Evocative view of nature! I think that "White Bird" is allegorical although I think I did that without intent. As I am sure you know when you write things come out that you did not expect to put there in your initial thoughts. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

Very interesting perspective on the protection offered by trees that live for hundreds of years. Where would we be without the oxygen they produce and the habitat they provide for all God's creatures? Good luck in the contest, Donna! Love, Carolyn
