Majestic Trees Standing Tall
You stand majestically surveying your land
Alongside a river which around you it wends
You sit small and lost in the foothills of mountains
Dwarfed by their greatness but you still stand divine
Your long reaching branches provide shelter to many
At the top sits a dark raven and to him it’s his castle
Your branches provide the vital cover he needs
Camouflage comes from your fresh green leaves
Branches like blankets wrap and hide all life underneath
A sanctuary and home which creatures can live beneath
So much you see standing tall on the landscape
How many times have you’ve been an escape
Secrets whispered underneath your strong trunk
Secrets which you and your branches will keep
Standing like a tower for year after year
My, if only we knew all that you've heard
