Words Inspired by Time Spent at Humboldt
Arboreal Ethereal
Take me where the forests sprawl
surrounding me with trees so tall
and carpet made of fallen leaves
with birdsong from the canopies
A footpath parts the verdant scene
a line of Earth amidst the green
No buildings, roads or motor cars
in nature underneath the stars
The vast and heavenly silence
my mind and soul in reverence
the monolithic guardians
of ancient rocks and lowly ferns
remind us who we really are
I hope I never travel far
from cosmic Humboldt energy
the hallowed place among the trees
Poem written by Rick Farrell who attended Humboldt State from 1989 to 1991.
