Climbing a tree
Looking for a strong lower branch
To jump
Jump
Jump
For a very good grab
Grabbing with arms
Wrapped around the strong branch
Must hurry
Arms are not as strong as legs
And
Soft back swing of legs
Pull in stomach
Throw
Throw those long legs up
And pull
Grab the branch
Legs and arms
In the Tree now
Now
Now
Now ready
To learn the Tree
To meet
To feel each other
To be able to see her hidden places
Look
Look
Look up
Climb
Climb to the next big branch
Feel your body stretch
And hold onto the tree
Feel your knowingness in your
Climb
Stay
You are higher
Look
Look around
All around
Look down
Look up
Look how far out the branches reach
Look up
Is there another strong branch?
Wait
Think
Consider
Consider the strength of the branch you are on
One more
Just one more
Stretching leg over to a strong branch
Just a few inches higher
But
Still
Higher
Arrive
Stay
Heart pounding
So high
Tree?
I’m a bit afraid
Are you okay with me here
Breathe
Look
Look
Enough
Time to climb down
It’s an amazing quick scuttle
Hang from lowest branch and drop
Separate from Tree
A Bond
