A tree is rooted in the soil

Deep and strong

And growing

Forever and ever and ever

But not me

Not the shadow

I can wander

Far and wide

I sleep in the tree branches

Where my home is

Where I live

And I breathe

But in the nighttime is when I am free

Hidden from all the sight

Able at last

To go to where I want to be

When everyone is asleep

I stretch from the leaves

One dark wisp at a time

Slowling peeling

From the leaves to the branches

Then the big and wide trunk

Then I wind my way down

To the roots in the dir

Stretching, slowly

Slithering away

Away from the home base

And out to be free
