Poem
CATERPILLAR: Sweet, moist, musky earth pervades all of my senses In safe darkness, beneath this leaf, my cool canopy I have no wants as I slumber here in contentment I am humbly grateful, alive with my blessings Rested now, I feel a need to explore this place Hungry to feed my belly and begin my journey I crawl out from my haven into the brightness The tree I seek is beyond this forest of grass My world is brilliant yellow, brown, and spring green I climb an etched blade, and feast on its succulence I chew my way down, and nourished, I aim for my oak My little legs scurry toward where I must rest soon. COCOON: The sky is pink, orange and red as twilight wanes I am weary like the sun, slowly closing his eyes I begin my ascent toward a branch high above I labor up the scaly skin, finally to the limb Nestling in a crevice of this arm that holds me I watch the last ruby glow melt from the sky My day's toil leaves me exhausted yet peaceful Starlight’s gently sparkle a silent lullaby I dream I am cradled in finely spun cotton I dream I am nothing but pure spirit and joy I dream I am falling, then floating, then flying I dream of bright blossoms dancing in the air. BUTTERFLY: I awaken to darkness, yet hear birds singing I have slumbered so long, and feel the need to stretch My surroundings crackle when I extend my body A thin, radiant beam enters, shocking my sight This body's strange to me; I seem to have arms I beat them against the sides of my enclosure It crunches apart like dry leaves in the autumn I stand on thin legs, atop a broken casket The air is alive with wisteria and lilac Upon its sweet breeze, I surrender myself I flutter and float as I bask in the sunshine I am a young orchid blossoming in the sky
