Redwood Road

For five years,
this was the way
home -
down the lee side of a mountain,
a narrow zigzag of a road
winding
between overgrown redwoods
and rock slides.

The reward lies
at the bottom,
through an umbrella of pines
edging a springtime creek,
around a blind curve:

the moon ascending
above silhouetted branches,
reflected below by a small reservoir.

Sometimes,
the moon is full.

(smiles) Yep, sometimes the moon is full just like last nights phenomenon! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I love the redwood forests so much and dream of going back to Lake Tahoe to see them! We all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Corinne, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

The images were vivid. This was beautiful...

Good. You might try a comma instead of a period after "slides", then change the "T" in "The" to lower case; "lies" to lying; "is" to was in the last line. Nicely done.
