the woodland
with their rugged

Branches of redwoods arching to the skies
like the cleansed breath
Knotted stems
unspoiled
Grows.

Appears
As tree bends
Over water
Nature winks through portal of scenic bliss

As sun dips lower, shadows form o’er stream
Misty farewell
To a day
Of peace

Nature's reflections trick the human eye
Lovely archway
Touches sky,
Eerie 
Fog
Floats
Upon
The river
Draws downward stump's
Reflection, danger's passage 'pon water

It has no sandy beach or umbrella
Yet it harbors sweet life for I can see
Lush verdant growth
A hillock
