Mover of Movement

Movement 
has changed
thief of night
stealer of colors
and hammer sound
to a galloping
smile of lights
opening sweetness
of satin flower
through the calyx
down to honey
unseen effort
of winter night
struggling out
of hard chrysalis
muscling wings
to rise and fly
breeziness 
of blue sky
visible to eyes
egg surprise
hidden
mover of 
movement
of life 
God Almighty
changes
caterpillar
to butterfly
