Joy of Unfastening

Inside the skull Tenderly kept a bud Petals are held together tight Containing all the beauty The driving force of the world Like that of fingers in strength Clinched into a fist The fist looses its fingers In love and in kindness And falls flat to turn To dissolve into a palm Like that of the bud Unfasten the tight by the petals In rain, in light To bloom into a flower A huge release--- A great revelation--- A freedom gained A relief from pain A beauty The real delight of the heart is born The flower drops its petals In freedom, in relief But gets wings of reason and logic To turn, to transform Into a baby -bird Like that of a moth Morphed into a butterfly In ecstasy, in joy Test its power of knowledge In its first flight.
