My Roots And Branches

πŸŒΏπŸŒ²πŸ‚πŸŒ³πŸƒπŸŒ²πŸƒπŸŒ³πŸ‚πŸŒ²πŸŒΏ

Look At The Branches And Roots Of The Frost Tree

Like The Watching Red Fox Looking At The Stars

Like The Tree, My Roots Are A Grounding For Me

πŸŒ³πŸƒπŸŒ²πŸƒπŸŒ³

The Roots Feed My Branches, And They Let Me Soar

I Am Like The Frost Tree With Roots And Branches

Like The Watching Red Fox Looking At The Stars

πŸŒ³πŸƒπŸŒ²πŸƒπŸŒ³

Roots Feed Me And My Mind Dances

Tethered To The Earth In Nature

I Am Like The Frost Tree With Roots And Branches

πŸŒ³πŸƒπŸŒ²πŸƒπŸŒ³

The Red Fox Shows Lunar Culture

Branches Drenched In Lunar Silver

Tethered To The Earth In Nature

πŸŒ³πŸƒπŸŒ²πŸƒπŸŒ³

Roots Flow With A Living River

My Body Full Of Living Force

Branches Drenched In Lunar Silver

πŸŒ³πŸƒπŸŒ²πŸƒπŸŒ³

This Is The Way I Run My Course

My Body Full Of Living Force

Look At The Branches And Roots Of The Frost Tree

Like The Tree, My Roots Are A Grounding For Me

    The artwork is magical for the next coming season, but works well with your words and frosty nights are like the stars falling to the ground all sparkly and all.

    I haven't seen or tried this form before; it's very lyrical. And as always, I LOVE the artwork.

    I love the use of this form. It’s like you’re dancing around the tree, or as if the tree itself is dancing, because of the rhythm that the repetition creates. It matches the accompanying illustration perfectly. Well done.
