Change

The cocoon unwinds
The chrysalis suckles light
Fly sweet butterfly

Rivers flow forward
Time moves to its beginning
To be forgotten

What I remember
The sea swallowed from my eyes
Love's a lonely place

Hold my hands again
I love the rain in your hair
Memory is vain.

Words are webs of war
Winter is desolation
Making way for spring

Green turns gold in light
Rainbows are waves wrecked by dust
Stars are ancient nights.

Fly sweet butterfly
The pupa blooms to become
Flowers of the sky
