Redwoods By the Sea
As I stood beneath an ancient tree
The canyon beckoned me
Mushrooms, moss and ferns abound
They carpeted the spongy ground
Rough redwoods reached into the sky
Such majesty and wisdom; I often wondered why
The canopy, a firmament up into the sun
A meeting of the masters, rejoicing every one
Created for an endless life, nestled near the shore
Are there more like them? They couldn’t see the more
Huge roots held fast in fertile ground
They are talking; can you hear the sound?
Their branches whispered softly with the winding stream
Let them grow forever; let them live their dream
