Redwoods

redwoods
watch the surge
of ocean waves…
silently they guard my
frailty

Redwoods have green needle leaves all year round. They are high and and majestical, and can live for hundreds of years. Thank you for your visit, my friend. Regards // paul

A great Cinqku Dear Paul! You master all forms of poetry but this write of Towering Redwoods is truly an aesthetic sight, in my minds eye, as they tower above the land and lean towards the sea and watch the surge of waves, besides which they must also be your best friends as they look out for your wellbeing! So much revealed in so few excellent choice of words and with poetic skill. Beautiful Paul. Warm regards and hugs, Jennifer.
