The Tree

The wind forcefully moves,
through the atmosphere
dividing and enveloping the trunk
like a mother’s embrace.
Branches twisting and curving
as if they are winding roads
each on its own unique journey.

Roots penetrate the ground
grabbing hold of the earth.
Never letting go or losing control
not even the slightest tremor
in the midst of the storm.

Clouds diffuse and rays stream down
forming a web of light.
The colossal barked spider stands firm
as if the sky had not just laid siege upon it.
