An owl and a tree

A landscape that is filled with big trees

With tough leaves and strong branches

A trunk made with heavy aged wood

Unbreakable roots that spread to the soils of Earth

There lies an owl

Seeing all with its big eyes but remains silent

Internalizing

She has her favorite tree

Her safety and security

There she finds her peace

When she leaves her tree

To eat, explore, to exist

Branches of other trees fall unto her

Weighing her down

She carries the weight with her short arms

Careful not to drop them in other trees' way

On her way back to her home tree

The one who loves her

Homes her

Carries her to sleep every night

With a gentle wind

And warmth within its leaves

She makes sure that the weight

Of the other trees

Doesn't weigh down

Her home tree.
