On the outside
I am simple and small

But inside
I am BIG
A little bud
 Of Kinetic energy

I have come to term.
Matured
It is time
To push through this shell

This sheath
Has covered me
Protected me
Shielded me

But now
That I have fulfilled this measure
It punishes me
Preventing my cultivation

I’m certain to sprout
To jump out of my own skin
Shed my carcass
And G*R*O*W…

 Shooting to the sun
I s-t-r-e-t-c-h toward the light

It is the season to become tall!
Strong & healthy
…Free flowing…
A beautiful organic being
Expressive
Of the earth I grow in.
