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!
Thanks for reading Ann, yep there’s a special feeling there.
You put me right in the grove. Contemplative portrait of these tree peoples that “let you come inside”
Hey Larry, yes, I get that special feeling! Thanks.
