The Tallest Tree In The Forest Poem by Ray Lucero

Cedar forest rings my humble abode
Giants swaying in an angry wind
Rain clouds loose their watery load
Their nature is to be undisciplined

How am I to know my verdant friends
Standing here below on forest floor
While most of what is seen ascends
But for a better view I shall explore

My search begins to find the tallest tree
The one most eager to kiss a rising Sun
The climb nearly takes the best of me
Reaching highest bow I sit in adoration

From high above an endless sea of olivine
Until now…an arboreal family gone unseen
