What have I become here
In dappled light and sunshine shaded
Growing next to game trails
I grew beyond
I grew beyond each label others placed upon me
I grew beyond boundaries set like stone walls in my mind
I grew beyond it
I grew beyond it all
Wild seeds were spread throughout the understory
Watered by the dew and falling rains
What have I become here
Rising from this dirt and leaves and twigs
Reaching up beyond the detritus of the past
Lifting higher to a new configuration
Walk deep into the forest
With eyes wide open
With listening ears
Walk deeply into the heart of the wood
And see me there
And see me there
Beyond it all
