Big Tree

The roots spreading deep underground like worms in their tunnels.

I see darkness and I feel ants making tunnels all around me, putting me into a prison.

Silently, worms are making their tunnels closer and closer to the ants.

Under no light, they break through the surface to feel the moss on their pink and wet skin.

More ants building a nest of moss by pushing and pulling the moss away.

I see spiders with eight legs and sharp teeth waiting silently for the ants to come nearer.

A centipede creeps up behind the ant, wanting to trap the ant for dinner.

Flowers behind the insects are slowly stretching towards the sun in the bright blue sky.

Orange and black objects flying straight to the flowers to dip their heads into sticky yellow liquid.

I look up to see sold brown falling toward me. It lands next to me with great force and leaves a small sphere-like shape in the soil below.

I feel the moist bark and see the brown, mushy paste on my round, slimy body.

I look up to hear birds chirping in the wind,

Racing through the green canopy of the tall brown object next to me.

I can hear rustling in the bushes behind me.

I hear marching beyond the giant wall of dark green.

I feel like the smallest creature on the planet.
