feel me in your heart
kneading the soil
planting the seeds
permeating the tissue
and the light

feel the clock ticking
in there
such a delicate
instrument
tick-tick
such a gentle sound
fueled by the breath

only I know
when
it will stop
when
it will flutter
when
it will break
when
it will burst forth
with love

I am the great
time keeper
