The Forest Cathedral


 

From the twilight of early morning

to the dusk of approaching evening

the forest lies hushed within its

winter cocoon deeply snowed

the forest floor humped 

with the ghosts of trees past

their stumps transformed into eerie

shapes and shadows hover nearby

for the forest interior is never so

influenced by a wide blue ocean of sky

where the sun navigates its way

east to west in its daily transit 

and the forest giants of fir, pine and spruce

green-feathered against the dark silhouettes

of poplar and oak raise their spires

reaching to the firmament in this

natural cathedral of live supplicants.
