Leaves that shimmer in pink rain
that drips down jewel-encrusted fruit.
Dramatically frozen in the sky
are the heights above the clouds.
Birds that nest with eggs that hatch
into half-angel, half-dragon beasts.
Flying with feathers softer than silk
and scales that shine in the sun.
Snakes form the roots of the tree,
and they crawl into magic wells.
The tree is crowned with a frozen sun,
with bluish icicles for solar flares.
Behold the kaleidoscope tree
and eat of its magnificent fruit!
