I was driving up highway 17
and looked at the snow fed
redwood trees that stood up
on all sides of the truck windows.
I thought to myself, I wish I was walking.
It was so majestic I wish that it was in slow mo.
When I finally got to the university
I was face to face with these red monsters.
Oh what beautiful creatures the redwood are.
They scratch their claws into your eyes
making them scarred for life,
perhaps there is no greater beauty.
Trees are wonderful to see and know. They stand supreme against all odds. Lovely write. Having read a book called 'Meetings with Remarkable Trees' by Thomas Pakenham, Dolphin Books. I now look admiringly at all kinds of trees and really adore them, where as before I didn't really take any notice of them. Wonderful Book, and this is a wonderful poem. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
