best advice

"Grow Up," for up 
is the way to grow, 
and growing you are
and shall be, you know.
For so far as you go. 

For life, 

you'll eat it by eyes
and mind and skin,
by scent and taste
and sense within, 

to find you have never 
arrived
where you've been.

Just growing up through
all the where and when 
you have ever seen, and

what's best - perhaps!

Bend your aim? And veer in, 
and you'll see it again, 

intact. 

Or perhaps,
you'll find something else
so very much like. So lifelike,
so kind, it can't be otherwise. 

So likewise, it could be selfsame 
indeed!

In fact,
perhaps this

is the very place
where the difference lies
gasping, beginning
to bleed.  

Only it has grown,
too.

It too 
has the why. 

It too has the need.
