^{A SIGHT OF SEQUOIA…. WEAVING A MAGICAL SPELL}   

                ^{Mother nature at times wears a bewildering face,}

         ^{Fire, though destructive, grants life in its place,}

         ^{One’s silent grave, becomes another’s summer}

               ^{Sierra Nevada, a place of visit for the connoisseur.}

               ^{A host of trails, for a lifetime thrill and pleasure,}

               ^{General Sherman, Giant tree all in the picture,}

               ^{Redwood trees, renowned for the height and  age,}

        ^{Symbolize in adversity for resilience and courage.}

 

           ^{Giant Sequoias, all colossal in trunk and in its girth}

                 ^{Live many thousand of years, rise steeply  in  growth,}

^{,         Three hundred feet tall, in majestic view, so mammoth.}

           ^{Standing lofty, miles and miles above sea and earth.}

 

            ^{Fires destroy the wild life, yet Sequoias thrive to show,}

            ^{Break the thorny seeds to dissipate more and grow .}

           ^{Through resilience, these giants  survive the ravages}

                 ^{The seeds awakened, new sprouts come from the ashes.}

 

            ^{For a  naïve visitor, an awe inspiring sight to behold,}

            ^{For lesser trees, all pale in both life span and height,}

            ^{An once in a lifetime sight, form the marvel of nature,}

^{We, mortals, may never again glimpse in the future,}
