Giants

Your fingers stroke the clouds

I gaze aloft at your boughs.

Your trunk a mast as upon a ship

I so small, insignifiacnt slip.

 

Your interwoven tresses, what a sight!

Puts where I stand dark as night

Dark green moss your feet are shod

By them, breezes cause ferns to nod

 

To Heaven you reach e'er so slow

Reaching before I arrived below.

Someday in eternity I will look down

See below your still questing crown

 

Have you answers to that we seek?

What could you tell if you could speak?

About your base, what lives have passed?

As you stood serene, Heaven in your grasp.
