oak trees – Ancient Skies

In this Place Where Eagles Dwell

Oceans 2029

In this place where eagles dwell, and prayers take wings

where the pine and oak trees thrive, holding onto solid ground

and here, where poetry is carried in the sun,

and moonbeams cascading, I know

I really know,

I am never alone.

Before the crickets and dragonflies appear, tender oak leaves

cover the forest

as they sway in the cool spring breeze, smelling of rain

a canopy

of gentle green

filtering the sun.
