Shu Aiqing

My understanding is divided into two paragraphs.

A tree, a tree

Stand apart from each other

Wind and air

Tell them the distance

(The expressions in the first paragraph are separated and independent from each other.)

But under the cover of soil,

Their roots have been elongated.

In the unseen depths

They are wrapped around the roots.

The expression in the second paragraph seems to be separated, but in fact it is closely linked. )

Language features: image, personification and lyricism.
