Static Giant
Ease the breeze a poem of trees (my photos included)
Static giant standing tall — branch of algae, lichens and bark
Though your leaves may fall beneath, you are a silent guardian that speaks
Carbon dioxide you intake — to make climate change —cease not rage
Though I may be dust you give me breath — to live through my daily tasks at best
If I may drink — parasites and filth, you come to my rescue — purified my fill
Excuse me if I am… curious, what wisdom do thee keep?
Bristlecone pine, may have the answers to find — immortal divine
When your soul declines, just look outside — your static giant stands — in odd shapes and size

Ok! We've got more talents 🤩😃... Seriously, your photography is better than UnSplash pictures... That 'curves one' is funny tho! Your pictures made your poem double delicious 😍
This poem was so beautiful Caitlin and I loved the photos you took!! So gorgeous!!
Your poem was so beautiful and your photos are so stunning! Loved them!
Loved the images of the trees and the ode to trees you wrote. Good work.
Wow! Beautiful photos Caitlin, and excellent poetry. Like a love letter to nature, and trees specifically. Definitely makes me want to go for a hike. Do you happen to have any favorites in terms of trees? I did read and enjoy your Scarlet Siren of Sorrow, but the cemetery video wouldnt loud for me at the time. This is a good reminder for me to try again I think!
Aww! This is beautiful! Girl ✨ I love the way you’ve captured the tree as this wise, steady guardian, silently working wonders for us every day. You’ve given such a gentle yet powerful voice to something we often take for granted. The lines about the tree purifying and breathing life into us really hit me – it’s such a great reminder of everything nature gives without asking for anything in return. And the Bristlecone pine! The way you describe it as "immortal divine" feels so fitting for something that has weathered centuries. This is such a heartfelt tribute to the wisdom and strength of nature. Thank you for sharing this; it’s honestly inspiring!🤗❤️
Very lovely tribute to the trees that protect us.
