Voices of the Might Fir Trees
ring from a high-
“Climb! Despite all, you must climb!”
“As the rock moves-so do we. Climb!”
“We climb because we must!”
Our life is balance and a climb to the top and, climb
we must.
Anchors of soil hold us between
Earth and Sky as we
Rise to greater heights-
Thriving in the distance!
Dressed in haloed and hallowed crowns
of fog
wrapped in mystery
We stand like great beings
Towering in triumph.
Poem #4 Poetry Half Marahon by Ingrid Exner
“Anchors of soil hold us between Earth and Sky as we Rise to greater heights-Thriving in the distance!” Superb lines and throughout I could see the trees in conversation. Fantastic!
Thank you Siobhan! At first, I wasn’t too sure where I was going with this but as with many poems that day and night, it sort of took on a life of its own..The prompts-especially this photograph- were very inspiring!
Great imagery. The whole piece reaches like the beings about which you write. Wonderful! Thank you.
Thank you for liking this poem. I am in awe of trees esp cedars and pines that can flourish under any condition. They are great beings of beauty and comfort to me.

Mighty they are… Well portrayed…
