to ensure, to see
the ground she walked upon
could support her
tree
long, the rise, a trunk, arms
open; terpsichorean
the sky she longed for
above one risky, gamboling
leaf
structure, sound; not crisp
the streets, the tweets
avian songs and flights
so swift, though light-like falling
feather
sweet, smooth; soundless
strong enough to die

Excellent use of language, particularly the repetition of the letter s in the last stanza.
It makes this poem seem both saccharine and sinister. Well done.
