The Other Way

Radha Rangarajan

Tall like a tree
Short like grass

Up in the sky is a cloud
Down in the soil is an earthworm

Light like a petal
Heavy like a rock

Over the leaf is a caterpillar
Under the leaf is a dragonfly

Quick as a squirrel
Slow as a snail

Birds before sunrise
Bats after sunset

Above the tree is
the moon
Below the tree is you!
