Premiere Contest WinnerWalking With Redwoods

On hallowed ground this path pervades
                As if by fate, alone I tread
           To hear the whispered serenades
     Of redwood song through timeless threads

             From long forgotten centuries
           Melodic echoes through the mist
                A haunting hint of reverie
                Perhaps a plea to coexist

           If by chance you amble through
     These auburn temples fringed with grace
       A thoughtful pause - your cares adieu
           The healing magic of this place
