Listen to poem:
Helix Unfolding to Becoming
A seed, spiral-wound
unwinds its yo-yo string strands—
auguring up down
with a double helix reach
unfolding life's code and map
With germination,
roots sink as branches ascend,
spiral paths entwine
growth does not rush headlong through—
it turns, curves, branches, transcends
The acorn knows well
how to become an oak tree—
no tutelage sought
the spiral codes what you are
knowing what you can become
