Evolution is a bird that dropped her seed in my soul

written 2/28/12, only just bold enough to post:
Evolution came to visit one day
The baby was sleeping
and out of the quiet
she lurched me from my loneliness
Upward and upward
Until I had a new view
and in that moment
a grand promise was planted in my soul.
But I did not know what to do
For the soil in my soul
was dry
and could nourish no seed
Yet there it sat
with its seduction
of becoming
And I could not bear
the potential
knowing I was not living it.
I did not know what to do.
But a seed
it does not think
it knows what to do
All I had to do
was sit with it
I did not have to think
I did not have to fix my life
I only had to follow the promise
of my seed.
