Becoming

I become myself slowly, seed sprouting a tendril of green towards the surface where light and warmth aid more growth; I unfurl leaves and stretch them out beneath the sun. I blossom; I bud; I flower. I am radiant beneath the sky, gleaming and glowing and glistening and glorious; I am a madcap marigold, a dancing daisy, a regal rose, I am the delightful dandelion, the shy snowdrop, the bountiful buttercup; I am a flower, I am a flower, I am a flower; ; ;
I become myself slowly, seed shearing off into similarity towards the repetition of self where water and particles aid more growth; I unfurl crystalline structures and stretch them out beneath the earth. I nucleate; I divide; I coalesce. I am scintillating beneath the light, flashing and flaring and flirting and flaunting; I am a quintessential quartz, a dazzling diamond, a resplendent ruby, I am the elegant emerald, the amazing amethyst, the stunning sapphire; I am a jewel, I am a jewel, I am a jewel; ;
I become myself slowly, seed starting forth into the wild towards the unknown where space and energy aid more growth; I unfurl rays of light and stretch them out beneath the galaxy. I burn; I fire; I shine. I am refulgent within the cosmos, blinding and blessing and blowing and blanching; I am a natal nebula, a daring dwarf, a grand giant, I am the pretty pulsar, the succulent singularity, the notable neutron; I am a star, I am a star, I am a star;
