To reach the top
To water that plant
Plant of love
Plant that grows
Grows from the seed
Grows patiently
Patiently going up
Patiently and slowly
Slowly as her feet carry her
Slowly step by step
Step up everyday
Step up and down
Down after watering
Down the spiral stairs
Stairs to the tower
Stairs going up
Up and down
Up and never ending
Ending when
Ending what time
Time to think
Time to ponder
Ponder about life
Ponder about youth
Youth she was once
Youth and full of energy
Energy to go up and down
Energy spent
Spent and tired
Spent alone
Alone in the world
Alone with the plant
Plant of life
Plant she loves
Loves since the start
Loves and lives together
Together they grow
Together and forever
Forever she hopes
Forever till the end
End of time
End of the process
Process of patience
Process of life
Life and the universe
Life such wonderful
Wonderful to be alive
Wonderful to be home
Home
Alive*
