64
Grew without interference
Buried by time
From seed to sprout
It invested in roots
Fed on what had lived before
Before it grew tall
It grew wide and lush
Knowing stability is needed
For growth to be maintained
From there it sought the light
Interference to see things
As one would have them
An attempt to outdo time
Stunts and destroys growth
The master knows
When pursuing growth
She need only allow
Nature and time
to do its work
The Spoken Word (Peaceful)

Words and Images are my own.
