Roots and leaves
Grounding 
Reaching above
Two affections
Opposing directions
One hidden one seen

A vast intricate network
Tapping into streams
When cold and dark
Storm rips apart
She holds me gently
Tough enough
Never letting go
Of what sustains us

Long limbs climb
Dance in the air
Entwine 
Soak rays absorb rain
Glorious colour
Flower fruits
Enough to feed
Seven monkeys
Birds butterflies bees

Long life of love
Rooted deeply
Flying free
