Growth

Up in the growth
The air swims through my hair
A touch unknown
Up in the canopy
A sickled seedling sewn
A prophecy

Sister, I cannot choose stillness like you
Running from nothing
Still I must go
Towards the precipice

Up in the sky
The glass and metal rise
And leave below
And way up high
A vanquished vertigo
A lord reviled

Sister, I cannot see how you're like me
Standing in silence
Still and serene
Are you lonely?

Up in the air
The dancing droplets grow
And fall to earth
And down below
The mighty furnace burns
A fearsome glow

Sister, I do not know how not to grow
Teach me, release me
How did I go?
Towards the precipice
