Baby Steps (Free verse) by SpiffyDoo
You feel so good like a rose petal
on a rainy day which is finally
sprouting out of the ground.
The little green stubble poking
through is almost nothing. It has
a potential energy that holds the rest
of the world in it's small body.
You will be here soon.
Reverse me into the ground and
push hard. Rip the petals off
and pull out my stem.
I am almost you. Waiting to be born.
The few roots left underground
cannot breathe with ease.
The slow process will go fast for me.
My tall neck can see the other sky
reaching for me. Numerous times you
will see the sky...it'll be all the same.
Don't look too hard, save some
...remember me.
