Sequoia-

When thinking of you darling
I envision a tree
Strong, sturdy, roots planted firmly
Swaying to imposing storms

I can't resist impulse to scale your limbs
And be encompassed in cradling boughs
My buttocks and elbows nestled
Comfortably in your palm

Rustling leaves whisper to me
A netted hammock shifts, reaching
for my hand
Encouraging a peaceful refrain
Inviting me to lie down

In your shade I find solace
Under your canopy I feel safe
Comforted from life's irritations
And fast pace

You the beginning
I the middle
Our daughter the end
And fruition of your seed

Each ring a catalog of family history
Spiraled for the world to see
The love you give is oxygen
Breathing new life into us
Allowing us to thrive and flourish
