"Sequoia"

"Sequoia"


This world, this grove

This planted seed

Our roots stretch deep into eternity

But our love must burn before it grows

As tall and strong as sequoias

The lightning comes

Like a thief

To score our wounds and fuel our dreams

When the soils ready, the kingdom grows

As tall and strong as sequoias

**When I consider the natural phenomenon that is a sequoia and how each one grows so tall, how each one is connected by root systems in the earth, how each one is impervious to fire, and how all of this makes each one taller and stronger, I can only see it as a metaphor for the kind of love I believe in.--Quinn
