hold it gently in your hand,
this multitude of growing souls.
waiting

waiting can lead to breaking
if you don't hold it all gently
and remember
the silence of growth.
the quiet, private nature
of growth
which does not speak up
or report daily measurements.
that prefers to chew and digest,
to wait, and consider,
and to treasure up in the heart
and wait
and suddenly it's been five years
and you don't see things the way you did before

silently, pondering.
the nature of growth.
so, hold your causes gently,
and those souls carefully,
because they are growing,
silently, and beautifully.
