xiii days of poems // DAY 9 // ode to ponderosa
I see you standing tall
I feel your bravery, your strength
Rooted in grace-enlaced with magic that radiates
Delicate murmurs reverberate beneath the soil
Scintillating sensations swell
I breathe deep your sweet smell
You are kind as you gently remind me to listen
The wind whispers lullabies
Dewdrops glisten as soft light
Spills through your branches
Humble deity, my humbled heart is love
It dances before you-within you
You who watch the changing landscape but remain
You who hold the memoires of a thousand winters but refrain
From the piercing judgment a man would cast if in your place
I drop my worries into the river and watch them float away
Here, with you, my heart stays
