Time sits still in the tip of these cedar trees
as they pierce the balming silence of these cerulean skies
unwaved and unweathered
as a testimony to the
constant swing by the northern winds
here they stand
witness to the passers-by
passing on the great wisdom
saved and savored for eons
with their strong branches and Feeble leaves
/a dichotomous truth/
those mighty heads
gives in easily to these boisterous winds
and they bow down to their generosity
with the fruit-laden branches
and teaches us
/the ignorant mankind/
a lesson in humility.

Beautiful !
I love our local cedars – so fortunate they are a 10 minute walk! Hands on, listen, refresh, feel the spirit
