In the Heart of Muir Woods

Where sunlit whispers meet the shade,
In Muir Woods’ heart, a world is laid—
Tall giants rising, ancient and grand,
Roots gripping fiercely through timeless land.

Beneath their boughs, in softened light,
The air hums low, a sacred rite,
With branches stretched to touch the sky,
They guard the peace, as ages sigh.

Their bark holds secrets, thick and deep,
Of storms and seasons, strength they keep,
In quiet groves where light refracts,
Time slips away and breath contracts.

Stand close, feel small, in their embrace,
A thousand lifetimes hold this place,
Majestic, still, with whispered wood,
The soul finds calm, as all things should.

Here, echoes stir with nature’s hand—
In Muir Woods’ grace, the redwoods stand,
A sanctuary, tall and wise,
Under green canopies that kiss the skies.
