In the mists of the giant bark beneath rise old growth saplings out of crag and earth, where tumbles an ancient evergreen leaf from that marvel of great and splendid girth. That footing seed, that pod, that budding shoot to spread its shedding crown in fulsome yield, when ringed trunk buttressed by conifer root in furrowed skin wraps its tubular shield. High on sky perch over forest thickets the sylvan canopy the clouds do climb - to fell, to log, to mill into pickets and trusses tempers not this heart of mine. It does me good (those sap bathed arms bended) to see your mighty scaffold extended. Written: May 1992
