Redwood Essence
West Coast
Northern California
Redwood trees
Huge groves
Avenues of Giants
One may stop, decide
‘I will hug this tree’
Go on, give it a try
Give it some time
Mature trees
Deep dense, living beings
Silent sentient presence
Masters of meditation
They let you come inside

I love these words about the trees “Deep dense, living beings/Silent sentient presence/Masters of meditation” –they just seem to capture the power of the trees so well. I love this poem, especially knowing how much you love these trees! Beautifully done!
You put me right in the grove. Contemplative portrait of these tree peoples that “let you come inside”
