Take Me

A ponderosa pine forest in Enchanted Mesa Trail, Boulder, CO . Ekphrastic illustration of the poem
Enchanted Ponderosas, by T.M. Spring
Take me.

Take me to the trees
leave me 

in their sun dappled
shade 

dancing
upon needle beds
embracing
grounded roots.

Take me to the trees

that love the forest 
and the wind 
that sings in tune
with chickadees alight,

a millennia of wise 
boulders birthing forth 

one windstorm 
at a time.
