Once an old, small, skinny tree branch

Once a lost mouse in the city

Wished to be a soaring tree

Wished to be filled with ease


Not to be looked down on by the birds

Up in the sky, wise and witty

Not to be judged by the does

Running Freely, very pretty


By neverending trying and dreaming

Turned into a great tree

Saged owl by the dusk

Fetching deer by dawn


Cheerful of what to come

Comforting for those around

Fathoming big bits and pieces

And there is still more to come

Full of metaphors, yet so clear to understand, for the minds that break the status quo.
