Growth
yet in reverse
again
We leave behind
the seeds where dreams
shape ground
With the tide
your contact tells
a story felled
in familiar tones
Carrying the one
most like you
in the vast sea,
your progeny
Watching in wonder
the power to protect,
to save,
to hold on
We marvel admiringly
the heart of a whale
Yet tear apart
many
Seeking
to hold on to their own
