Yosemite Forest California
ancient trees reaching for the sky
whispering stories to the winds
that the only the guardians of this place can decipher
sitting amongst the pine cones
this is where I first fell in love with nature
with my young virgin heart
forever written on my soul
will be the swaying of their branches
the lush ferns and pine needles
where I lay and dreamt of my future
an artist I was going to be
painting out the landscape
that freed me of my fear
put my mind at ease
let my soul soar like the regal eagles
I saw kissing the sky
flying with them
unconcerned with the Earth below
a child of the forest
I would get lost in it's raw beauty
left in awe of mother nature
that birthed these red woods
these mountains on which I climbed
scraping knees in innocence I bloomed
the beauty of this place
can't be contained with words
she is wild, untamed, perfection
it's time I visit her again
my forlorn soul longing
for her mystical touch
a balm to my soul
with her majestic trees
wrapping me in her arms
feeding me from her breasts, her mountains
a great mamma to the world
let these places be preserved
forever unmovable
standing as a beacon to all
will remain unchanged
I pray long after
I've turned to dust
and blown away
to be one with the dirt
that nourishes her mighty trees
then may I be blessed with her stories
that are sung to the Earth alone
one with nature forever
in the place most sacred to my heart

I too am a child of nature and this read was a pleasure to the senses.
I feel the deep sadness and fatigue too, as always so beautifully expressed from your bright soul.
thanks for this, Crim (Brenda) xx

Absolutely gorgeous poem, Crim, a departure for you. I've been camping there a few times myself. Got kind of lost when those towering redwoods blocked the moon and stars late at night. Didn't have the foresight to carry a flashlight. Still plenty of majesty when the sun came up, and I learned to be prepared. Loved this!

Beautiful, gorgeous and timeless!
Your words are just a bridge between what it is tangible and what is soulful and you've captured it brilliantly Brenda..It is one of those places that no words fully can capture the majestic beauty but you have done so with brilliance.

Brenda! I enjoy all your work, but so much of it is filled with restlessness, pain, some self depreciation. This, doll I hope you visit this place, mentally, emotionally and physically often. Peace for you. ✌💓 and soul. 💋
funny, i dreampt just the other night i was trapped in an Ansel Adams Photo. Running through his stark black and white world of Yosemite. Chasing my grandmother. It was a nightmare. Perhaps this poem will bring sweet dreams.
