Carole Cookie Arnold Poet Free verse

The Most Beautiful

The Most Beautiful 

Towering redwoods with their
Heads in the clouds stand as soldiers
Of nature’s elite, outranking every tree
Silent giants, Eyes of Heaven and cohesive
Foundational Roots

  Redwoods have been trees of liberty in the
Grand design of life for sixty-five million years
Ancient in creation and a mentor to the 
Human race on strength and survival; if one
Falls they re-root into a brother-hood

If we learn our lessons by the call of nature
The flutter of butterfly wings, warm honey pots
Crash of the waves, colors in a sunset and the
Deity of the oldest living Redwood Trees
We would never destroy another thing

For Gain
