Trees

Cedar Sentinel:

Tall and proud, the red cedar stands,
A guardian of the forest lands.
With bark of red and branches wide,
In their shadow, secrets hide.
Through storms they bend, but never break,
In their strength, the forest's sake.
From ancient times to future days,
They stand in silent, timeless praise.
Their fragrance lingers in the air,
A scent of wisdom, rich and rare.

Trees

Whispers of the Wild:

In the whisper of the red cedar's leaves,
A tale of the forest's heart it weaves.
Through seasons' change and time's slow crawl,
They stand resilient, ever tall.
Each ring a chapter, each branch a line,
Of stories old and forest sign.
In their shadow, peace is found,
A sanctuary, hallowed ground.
With every breeze, their secrets share,
A bond with nature, strong and fair.

Trees

Forest King:

The red cedar, king of forest deep,
In their embrace, the wilds sleep.
Their canopy a shelter grand,
A living fortress, nature's hand.
From root to tip, they touch the sky,
A testament to life's reply.
Through centuries, their presence grows,
A silent witness to nature's prose.
With every breath, their spirit flows,
A guardian where the wild things grow.

Cedar's Secret

The Western red cedar stood so tall,
Guarding secrets through the fall.
In its bark, a tale untold,
Of forest knights and days of old.
A squirrel crept up, ear to the tree,
Whispered, "What's your mystery?"
The cedar sighed, leaves did sway,
"Some secrets never fade away."

Cedar's Serenade

Beneath the Western red cedar's shade,
Woodland creatures serenade.
Deer and foxes, birds on wing,
Gather round to hear them sing.
A melody of ancient lore,
Echoes through the forest floor.
With every note, the trees seem swayed,
In cedar's song, they're gently played.

Cedar's Majesty

In forests old, the cedar stands,
Its branches spread like ancient hands.
With bark of red and heart of gold,
Its tale through centuries has been told.
A giant of the woodland realm,
It guards the glade with sturdy helm.
The cedar's scent, both fresh and sweet,
A fragrance where the earth and sky meet.
Through winters harsh and summers bright,
The cedar stands, a noble sight.
Its wood, a treasure, strong and fine,
A testament to nature's design.
In every ring, a story's spun,
The cedar's saga, never done.
