REDWOOD ...

REDWOOD ...

 

I will go to

The canal ...

To see

“My” redwood tree.

Majestic, tall

And stately ...

And very precious

To me.

Although

It can’t compare ...

To Californian cousins

In length ...

To me, it is

A talisman ...

And, from it ...

I gain strength.

It has survived ...

Endured ...

And flourished ...

So far from where

It used to be ...

And, from it ...

I take

Courage ...

And implore

Its power

To pour

O’er me.
