Tiger-striped yellow and black caterpillar,
Voraciously consumes leaves,
Like a poet consumes thoughts…and words,
Preparing for metamorphosis,
Becoming,
A jade pendant chrysalis sparkling with dew,
Golden circle of pinpoint lights circling its apex,
Breathing, forming, living,
Tied by a black and white silk string,
To whatever it can grasp for its journey,
Through time, through space, through the continuum,
Like a poet cocooning,
Grasping in solitary silence to words in flight,
As a structure deconstructs, rebuilds, grows toward light,
From primal memories, life-fluid,
Until,
A bright, ethereal new creation emerges,
Transformed, transcendent, triumphant..
A butterfly…
A poem…
A miracle.
A lovely poetic expression of God’s beautiful handiwork that can be witnessed by all ~

I am constantly amazed by it! Nature teaches us so many important things and survival skills are some of the most important ones. I know you feel the same way I do Frankie, and I thank you so much for your love and support!
