In my dreams I am growing tall
Reaching up with all my arms
Yet I cannot move aside at all
And I’m scared I will break the light
I cannot stop the shooting up
Even if I hold my breath
The bubble bursts as I look up
And shards of light fill the sky
And I see rainbows all around
And I don’t think I’m walking on the ground
And it seems all the music makes no sound
Since I broke the light

Your art drew my words from me
This piece could not pass unnoticed
It is GLORIOUS!
Trees aim to create kaleidoscopes of the sunlight and you have achieved it for them!
BRAVO! ♥
