Form But Never Limit
dusty and tight
not ready to ignite
waiting to fuse
fragrant but dull
we await
your expanding awareness
the opening of your petals
the sparkle of dew
upon fractal blooms
glistening on an infant
May morn
yes, you may
the garden
is awakening
the Earth is warm
welcoming your
deepening
roots
infinite iridescence
hidden wires
connection
take hold
animate
form
but never
limit
64
The greatest of trees
Grew without interference
Buried by time
From seed to sprout
Before it grew tall
It invested in roots
Fed on what had lived before
Before it grew tall
It grew wide and lush
Knowing stability is needed
For growth to be maintained
From there it sought the light
Interference to see things
As one would have them
An attempt to outdo time
Stunts and destroys growth
The master knows
When pursuing growth
She need only allow
Nature and time to do its work
