California redwood tree.
The tallest tree on the earth.
How majestically you stand.
King of the forest.

Woe is me, Woe is me
The rafter in my own eye
forbids me to speak of
the redwood tree in yours
From this pain, there is no release
suffer I must, in total silence
Woe is me, Woe is me

Triumph of nature, witness of time
Reaching high into to the sky, bursting from natures skin
Everlasting— Sequoia Sempervirens through death and rebirth
Evermore feeding the forest floor.

hyperion
world’s tallest living redwood tree
higher than the Statue of Liberty
she oversees her forest
hypervigilant
all-knowing.
her subjects wave their leaves
showing their appreciation
for her protective service

this road—
no one goes down it,
Autumn evening.

ledge acclaims redwood treetops,
no pregnant pit stops

Redwoods cloaked in green
home to golden birds, singing
up in true blue skies
So ancient and prodigious
hailing the stars and the moon
Redwood rosy morn
redwood soaked in the sunset
with silent breezes
Lord of the dark green forest
still in its vigorous youth

Read my heart now, open me
Take me down to Avonlea
Sit with me in Carmody
Study me and you will see
A man who with intensity
Doth love with an immensity
To move a mountain to the sea
Or climb the biggest redwood tree
And at the top proclaim to thee
Affections to the nth degree

Rhyme
[“ The Plant”]
We have plants and some are very special.
I pray I remain faithful
In taking care of my
SPECIAL each and every one plants.
They are so fragile, so rare, and so precious.
A plant is a LIVING THING
Which could even grow into a redwood.
THE PLANT IS ANY FRIENDSHIP.

I do not know?
the joy of you pop
once big as a redwood tall
fragile you blessed me
your eyes gave me hope
hundreds of years you grow small
a dark evil world
I stand taller now
a young sapling rooted deep
lessons you taught me

Without your eyes, there is no Grand Canyon or Redwood
With SELF, there is both selfishness and selflessness
Stop thinking, start meditating: I have taken, what may I give?
Jesus chose to yield His will, to obey Father. In Jesus I rest
The Incarnation, God taking on flesh, mystery of SELFishNESS

Epigram
From the mighty oak
to the redwood tall,
the willow weeping
the maple in the fall
they stand.
Be it the baobab,
the alder or yew
they stand in their majesty
with morning dew
they breathe.
The holly or ginkgo,
the aspen and pine
raise their arms skyward
as in prayer sublime
they live.

f our brain is wood, they are termites,
They devour the oak, beech, pine and even the redwood,
They are determined to reduce our dreams to dust,
our tables, our beds, our furniture, even our love in forest
If our brain is wood, they are termites,
The poet must resemble exotic woods to
not be eaten.

My Mother Is
my blonde roots I’ve box dyed black since I was 17
a sunrise in Barcelona
a sunset on Highway 70
the stretch marks between my thighs
a ripe tomato, sliced and salted
an empty pantry
a school ceremony with no one in the crowd
moonlight on the levee
every Bob Dylan song
a redwood tree
an unlived dream

As fine an inspiration
The redwood trees are
They still are too huge
To fall down off of
Listening to an Enya song
Covering my heart with music
Soothing the grumpy soul
That lies deep within
Maybe I’ll dance
Under the stars bright
Grooving to the moves of night
Taking down these redwoods
Till the morning light

A grain of mustard
Smaller than the eye can see,
With faith as, can move mountains.
Revered for all time,
Mighty redwood warriors grow.
Attaining great age and size.
Rabbits with great speed,
Could win a race if challenged.
Usually stop and nibble.
Slow moving turtles,
With all odds against their win,
Use that grain of mustard seed!

Choka
Three times a day
a train roars through
a field a farm away
booming like an Angus bull
looking for companionship.
Nearby in Henson's field
Guernsey cows eat their grass
behind a redwood fence
and moo in blissful peace.
They’ve heard this bull before.
No need to raise their heads.
He can’t come through that fence.

Blank verse
A blue whale’s tongue
How large can it be?
As supersized as a redwood tree.
No, not that big, the expert said.
But if you get smacked by one, you might become dead
As big as a car?
Bigger I think.
It weighs as much as an elephant.
So away I slink, for a blue whale is in sight, heading for me.
I hide in the corals, hoping me she will not see.

a wax tear formed
on redwood heart
in the dark
yet lit by many
a candle wick
my dry eyes wet
acapella soars
blood sweat tears
adorns
welled up
wall to wall
ascent
hearts rent
and bound
in grief
silent, deafening
defeating
lies
spurs on healing
stoked by
perspective
straight candlesticks
proud, on fire
a Holy Spirit spire

PEACE: A sunset,
PEACE: The waving grain,
PEACE: Blowing clouds,
PEACE: A gentle rain.
PEACE: A chirping cricket,
PEACE: A bird on the wing,
PEACE: The lofty mountain peak,
PEACE: A flowing stream.
PEACE: A giant redwood,
PEACE: The falling snow,
PEACE: The Babe born in Bethlehm,
Oh so long ago.
