Redwood Dream

Dreaming takes down

The light curtain

Bathes us with visions of pregnant earth

Her life, her dreams

If we could listen in

Hear her whisper in the trees

See the color in their dreams

Those monolithic earth whale redwoods

Go see them in your heart

When you cannot feel their leaves

Or bark

Or roots

Inviting

You

She meets us there

That sacred

That vision

That rooted beauty

Folds our prayers

Into her soft bark

Her singing leaves

Her living roots

Inviting

Us to strength

Footstep by footstep

Connected in

Her graceful image

She

Can

Hearten

All of them

These waking walking earth dreams
