She didn't know who to turn to
so she turned to herself and said
"we've gotta go"
Where, she didn't know.
but it had already been decided
by the hands of fate
and whoever else
might be along for the ride
She looked forward to the hours
of convening with the roots sometimes
but she dare not delve too deep
as much as she loved the earth
she was bound to stay above it
for a little while longer
to wake up with the sunrise
and hear the bird call
to bathe in the moonlight
and watch the leaves fall
and return to life.
