Patient and pure
Violent as well
The labor required
The softness I felt
Alive and powerful
Controlling and moved
As life and death
I, myself consume.
Great is the burden
Plenty the reward
Look it all its beauty.
Determined to conquer more.

This is quite the write of fascination. Enjoyed thoroughly. I love the metaphor life plays in small aspects of all life that you've shown. I have a contest that's open right now, and this is somewhat a gorgeous idea that i think you could have a standing place.
just a thought.
well done. and well written.
