I am standing on a branch of a tree
miles high above the ground.
Only the clouds are below me
and more branches surround me.
The tree is leafless
and has no other forms of life but me.
I want to touch surface with the earth,
but I don't know which branch will take me there.
I wish I could freefall,
but I know the clouds won't catch me.
So I'll continue to stand here,
and grow as the tree does,
moving farther away from the ground.
