Belief, that nature will promote

The forest floor, part shade it lay
 sunlight, its glint was, obscured day
alone I stood in wonders gasp
like an ant, I was dwarfed by mass
 
The monolith that stood before  
its breadth and span that rendered awe
and questions came to Google it?
that magesty from just a pip!
 
For centuries its growth upright
forest fires, its progress could not blight
natives honoured ancient truthes
 spirits good, traped within its roots
 
As its altars towered high
the forever saquoia, sanctifies
a feeling, God is ever nigh

Author's Note
for a contest 15 lines including two words (forever saquioa) a challenge for a rhyming poet as the odd line No makes it difficult to make rhyming stanzas and forcing a composition in pros
