Tree Brothers

Tree Brothers

I sit in your majestic shadows
under the protection of your boughs.
Scent of cedar calms my nerves.
Branches, house the birds,
animals and insects.
They uplift my soul
reaching skyward
to the sun.

Your ancient trunks
have seen the history
(hundreds of years).
You've seen the hunters
of other nations
as they silently
(reverently)
stalked their prey
and gave thanks
for the hunt.

I thank you, brothers,
for your protection,
wisdom and solice.
I take comfort
from the radiance of your power
enveloping me
as I sit quietly
in thought.
