10/18 Poem of the Month

                       Redwood Grove    

I stand in the midst of you,

Insignificant is my initial reaction…

I seem as if a speck,

I really am lost among you.

You soar so proudly toward the blue,

I stand just barely off the cold ground,

I shimmy myself to your side,

I set my chin on your sturdy trunk,

Up is where I look, you ascend magnificently,

I have dizzied myself with this embrace,

I cannot see high enough to join you in the sky,

 I know you come to an end but I cannot see it,

Suddenly I realize… you are wood…

It is I that am flesh…

You were made for me, not I for you…

You are my gift, one of thousands,

I too can ascend and reach for incredible heights…

May I choose the heights of love,

May I soar to the skies of loyalty…

Loyalty to the one who made you and I,

May I continue to grow, to make the ascent,

The ascent of admiration and love,

Love of the Grand Creator.
