Yet few become a butterfly
And those that soar
Feed even more
Who don't know why, but live to die

Fell out the tree 
Fell out the tree 
Fell out the tree 
This caterpillar 
Fell out the tree 
Now he can’t see

Brake out
From your cocoon
The moon
Must shed 
Her skin

To this smooth

Clinging To This Branch

A tiny trail of
Fresh symmetrical
Water droplets,
Clinging to
This branch
What clever
Caterpillar is this
That glowing string of pearls

Bedroom War

She wears peace signs

But screws like bombs erupting

Hips rocking like caterpillar tracks

Rolling over boulders

‘It’s a war in there, baby

And I wanna fight’

Wind

Wind
Blowing
Butterflies
From their cocoon
Sail in the sky with wings wide open wide
Body of colored beauty once was a
Caterpillar
Unmoved by
Blowing
Wind

Henry, an extraordinary excavator
Would arrive there sooner rather than later.
Using his big cat,
When shown where it was at,
He would dig you an enormous crater.

Constantly changing looks,
Cottony clumps spur a
Child’s creativity.
Could that be a giant
Caterpillar that now
Crawls across the sky? A
Camel it’s turned into!

Premium Member Heart lotus blooms

knowledge is a function of mind
wisdom however grows in the heart
slowly, being a beauteous blossoming
magic in motion, a transmutation 
the caterpillar now a butterfly

Premium Member Butterfly

His words tell her she's not enough, his love shows her, she likes it rough ~ his touch couldn't come too soon, she is a caterpillar, in his cocoon

Premium Member Butterfly

Born as caterpillar 
Bound in a chrysalis 
Brave and patient, I am 
Blessed by Holy Spirit
Bursting forth, emerging
Brief though is my life span 
Bring tidings of God’s love
Form: Pleiades

The Metamorphosis of Change

The thunder makes way for 
the lightning
As does the caterpillar make way
For the Butterfly
So too do I make way for 
The changes of 
Christ in me
