The cycle

This cell becomes division
an idea a split a incision
a night and a day
Black and white
But in this division
We can see, we can envision
Identity pouring forth
The tiny flame
Of a name…

This tree becomes a seed
It moves it bleeds and breaks
a part of itself to move forward
and yet it is not how it started out
however it doesn’t lose it self to doubt
We branch out wards like this family tree

This fire becomes a spark
It lights another flame
Who could tell it from the fire
and yet it has its own desires

The human becomes a egg
Hatching catching its mothers eyes
One day it will be fully grown
Will it still feel the sting of being alone?

This ocean becomes a drop
A drop that drips from a leaf
A raindrop that settles on the ground
In the cycle of Gaia
Repeating on and on
We are not separate
We move on and on..

In your own words 

You are a universe contained in a body
You are a theory 
A thought

All you taught yourself 

All you’ve written and said 

That day you conquered your fear

The tear trickling off your chin

The skin and bone that held together 

and yet the words that stayed with a friend

That picked them up off the floor in the end

You are a star in galaxy orbiting 

A place inside my heart

The key to memories hidden from view

A hundred thousand moving pictures 

The inspiration around a story

Your story begins 

In a twinkle of smile that caught your fathers glance

The closeness of bodies that danced 

wild and free 

You are everything to me and more

and yet you think you are small

Stand tall my friend…
