I see the clouds move
across the sky
but focus on the earth
are the clouds moving
or is it just us
I stand, feet rooted
in the soil
I spread my arms
soaking up the sun
knowing the familiar pain
to be a lesser compared to some
I feel the burn set in
my skin turns to bark
my feet don’t move
stretching, growing
my eyes remain
blue and green
staring to the clouds
up high above
a cat climbs up
its claws like needles
tearing at my newly formed bark
it sits
it smiles
and we both drift away.
