2018-09 / you’re taking a long time
you’re taking a long time
to grow
from red soil
i’m going to nurture you
i’m going to water you
i’m going to tend to you
i’m going to watch you grow
from
i’m going to listen to you grow
you’re taking a long time
i’ll nurture you
i wonder what you’re going to be like
as the earth trembles
as you shift
as you toss and turn
as the earth shakes
i’m going to sit down
and wait
you’re taking a long time
as you toss and turn
i know you will soon bloom
i’m going to wait
i wonder what you’re going to be like?
as you’re born
