Grounding roots

I gently sketch the branches
of a great pine tree.
I craft them to be delicate 
but sturdy.
They hold power,
strength, and glory.
I draw the ground high,
so I can show
the roots that ground it.
They give it sturdiness,
but also something to count on.
It gives the great pine a way to find
its way back
whenever the wind sways.
They restrain it,
but also give it freedom
to not be afraid of getting lost.
