THE ORIGIN OF RED TREES
The silent power of trees.
Years of history and knowing many things.
Influencing air, food and life.
Holding the earth and trails of water in place.
A home to worlds big and small.
Staunch and sturdy.
Shockingly large.
Cut without thought.
Today, hills shaven, stripped and bare.
Immense purpose and the beginning of red trees.
