Staring up high and beyond their treetops Where birds create their family dwellings Dreams begin to bloom and worries lessen Manifesting a most profound message
Some have feared the footstep of humanity The sound of distant sawing instilling fear Instead, in this sacred place they are protected Never will their integrity feel threatened
The welcomed footsteps upon their soil Arrive gently as awe-struck souls Their majestic beauty is never-ending Their glorious existence is transcending
Living in blissful peace with other flora They communicate through deep-winding roots Linked with the embrace of Mother Earth How lovely to live in this space of Grandeur!
Inspiring words Lauren! Dreams can blend in everywhere but they definitely get a new horizon at such peaceful places. All fears melt under the majesty of treetops and they slip through those empty places merging into the light, which endows them with new beginnings.
Lauren, thank you for your lovely post. The picture is beautiful and so are your words that show us the strong and deep bonds between the trees and
earth. And between us and them. 😊 .
Thanks very much for your beautiful and kind comment, Miriam. I agree with you in that the connection is present between us and the trees, but it’s felt even more when visiting one of these magical redwood groves. Awe-inspiring, to say the least, and I hope I haven’t bored others with so many redwood posts and poems. 🙂 💗
You are very graciously welcome so much. YOU have a great weekend too.
Beautifully expressed, Lauren. Long live the redwoods! I hope humans never ever approach them with saws – just awe and reverence. I can imagine the majestic silence in that forest.
Hugs 💞🌲❤️
Hoping someday to make it down there. 🌲 Hugs back to you! 💞💞 Hope you’re having a good weekend. 😊
Indeed a place where dreams begin to bloom and worries lessen! You’ve captured the sense of awe and inspiration, magic and time so beautifully in this poem, Lauren! Ah, to be able to listen to the wisdom these trees surely have to share – wouldn’t that be wonderful? 😊❤
Beautiful thoughts dear Lauren.. may our footsteps forever be striding purposefully forward, There is a whole world of communication going on deep underground with the roots of trees and the fungi which links them…
May we all learn to respect these magnificent Elders of the Forest .. Whose knowledge we can not know, for they have seen many hundreds of years pass by..
Wishing you a wonderful week and weekend to come Lauren.. ❤ x
Thanks, dear Sue, for your lovely comment and thoughts that I completely agree with. And wishing you a wonderful weekend, too. I actually landed in the hospital yesterday and spent the night. I’m okay, but waiting for answers, wanting to go home. 🙂
Anyway, enjoy your respite. Love and hugs! ❤️💗🦋🌻
Oh no Lauren… Sending you my love over the airwaves.. And hope all goes well… You are in my prayers dear Friend ❤ ❤
Thanks so much, Sue. I was in the hospital all weekend but home now, although not completely well. Doing more lab work and tests this week. I truly appreciate the prayers and love….hugs back..💗
Sending them with Love dear Lauren and rest up and nurture yourself.. Which is what I have been doing this week.. Sending LOVE.. and Big HUGS.. ❤ ❤

“Living in blissful peace with other flora

What a wonderful illustration on how all could benefit if we had that same kind of synergy in the human race.
Unlike humans, trees soar high and stay in touch with god while remaining on earth, and know their roots.
Your words, triggered these thoughts.
Peace,
Eric
And what poignant thoughts you share, Eric, that couldn’t be truer. If only humans could heed the lessons taught by these majestic trees. Blessings, my friend…

Beautiful words and picture, Lauren. ‘Protected in this sacred place’ ❤
Thanks so much, Jane. This was a big redwood grove, absolutely gorgeous and spiritual. So again, I was inspired. Hugs to you! 💕
Beautiful.
Thanks, Nico! Blessings to you!

Thanks, Balroop, and I agree with all you said. There are simply special places that inspire dreams and a redwood grove is definitely one of them. 🙂

So nice to be able to experience that.
It really is. Have you had the chance, Binky?
No, I’ve only seen a few redwoods in Vancouver park many years ago, but it wasn’t in a natural forest setting like this.
Well, hopefully the opportunity will come your way sometime in the near future. I think you’d love walking through a big redwood grove like this. 🙂
Yes, I’ve always wanted to, since seeing pictures in National Geographic many years ago.
Awesome beauty that needs our protection… A lovely poetic portrait, Lauren. 🙂
Thanks so much, Bette! I appreciate your lovely words. Have a wonderful evening. xo
I love the idea of protected woods. Beautiful poem, Lauren.
I know, that’s a great idea, isn’t it? Thanks so much, John!
😀
Such a beautiful poem, Lauren. That photo is amazing, too! Thanks for sharing. ❤
Thanks for your beautiful comment, Jill. Have a wonderful weekend! 💗

I love how you compare this image to humanity, Ian. Thanks for adding your wonderful thoughts, and, if only…
Beautiful, how inspiring nature can be. 🙂
Thanks, Alison, and yes, nature can be so inspiring. I believe this is my last redwood poem, too-hoping everyone’s not too bored yet. 😊❤️
Not at all they have been lovely.
Thank you! 💕
the words are so stunning, beautiful words and well balanced lines…amazing!!
Thanks for your lovely comment, Mihran!
How lovely indeed to live in peace with nature. ❤
Yes, indeed. Thanks, Debby, and hope you are well! 💕
