I walked with giants
And talked with ancestors
As I looked down the millennia
At the branching and twisting of the Tree of life
Immersed in Deep Time
I contemplate
My relatives, now extinct for aeons
And those who teeter on the edge today
I stand humbled
Heart heavy with grief
And ponder my place in the cosmos.

Fabulous words!
I like the word extinct. Soon, I will be one.
That’s lovely.
Isn’t it, eh? I want to be in that forest.
what a beautiful and well written poem. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, Bella. I shared it because I want to keep it as part of the journey of blogging. Hope you are well.
The photo and poetry is amazing. When you walk with the green giants of the forest. You have walked with giants.
Good to see you, John. Glad that you meet you with the giants.
