Bright green leaves with drops of dew

The branches swish with the breeze around you

A long sturdy trunk, holding it tall

Through spring and summer and winter and fall

Deep beneath the ground

If you dig is found

An upsidedown forest like a reflecting lake

Except none of this haven is fake

The soil protects the trees knees

From the dangerous and swishing breeze

Stretching to lands just out of reach

Perhaps even finding its way to the beach

The adventure that goes on beneath the tree

Is protected and stretches free

Deep roots keep the tree from going down

Not knowing what would happen if they weren’t around.
