Metamorphosis
Innocence of new birth
Such a sacred thing.
I could not recall its distant unreborn pleasures.
Too worn away
A mundane day
after relentless
smoothed-over
passive day.
I can only take my fading remainder measures.
Between innocence and torn elder
A midway ride
tripping through sacred sighs
and secular screams.
I would seize such natural spirited treasures.
Complexity of integrity
Such a mundane past birth
yet sacred future rebirth.
I have not yet reached for daring resonant fissures.
Innocence of reborn birth
this grey stormed winter mourning reassures.
