Poem
In the cold city’s embrace, she was bound, a captive to the modern world’s hustle and sound. Yet deep within, a dream began to take shape, a restless heart agitated for escape. Against impossible odds, she longed to leap, to make like a tree and from this world seep. With boundless faith and light in her heart, her dreams painted paths to a world apart. In the forest's embrace, where the woodlands breathe, she found her solace, a place to believe. Defying gravity, she soared with grace, captured mid-leap in a dream’s warm embrace. Her heart’s desires became an escapist scheme, a flight to freedom, a levitating dream. Suspended in mid-air, defying all odds, her faith in herself shone like the light of gods. “Make like a tree and leave”—she lived the truth, leaping from life, chasing dreams uncouth. To heaven, she floated in the forest’s glow, where the tranquil woods let her spirit flow. In her dreamscape, she flew with boundless light, captured in moments of serene, quiet flight. With every leap, she found self-belief, escaping the world’s suffocating grief. “Make like a tree and leave”—she did achieve, escaping a world that only deceives. In the forest, she found a realm surreal, where boundless energy sealed her dreams for real.
