Metamorphosis



Metamorphosis
Shedding the skin
Reborn within itself
Spiraling coils unwind
unto themselves
through the flexible
transcendence
Of original transformation

From the organic integrity
Structure is reveled
Awakening to new minds
To relatedness of interdependence

Pillow soft clouds
Float down wine dark skies
Behind ink black moons
Dripping unseen colors
Through a misty fog

As dark cold rains fall on
A saddened world
Spring flowers rise
In seasons of cycles
Off ancient stones
To a morning sun
