Augment
What am I, other than a pea inside the pod?
Thriving in my shell
Against the jostle of exponential expansion
The pod, was my warm housing, appended to me like skin
I was compelled to leave it, rather pulled out into
The loam of mother earth, where I now lay buried
Did anyone catch me fall to gravity?
By then, I settled into the tenderness of earth
It gripped me deep down within
My limbs sprouted off my core
In the hustle of dusk, my root wriggled beneath
In the yawn of dawn, my shoot peeped to rise
I endured the leap of growth, as infinitesimal as my size
Did anyone catch me surface the enormity?
By then, I saw no horizons of propagation
Inch by inch, dimension by dimension
Fostered in the hands of nature, to blossom
Silent, mediocre, incessant, my stretch
Surreal, yet, so real, my survival
Did anyone catch me augment my entity?
Catch me, if you can!
