Transformation

 

I'm kin to the caterpillar
hidden within seasonal sac
awaiting destined identity
tucked tightly into darkness
this secret, inscrutable place

Does it know it will become 
a delicate creature of beauty?
Does it know it will soon fly?

I wonder...

do I?

 

- Alyssa Underwood

 

 

It is difficult

To get the news from poems
Yet men die miserably every day
For lack
Of what is found there.

– William Carlos Williams

A bit of fragrance 
clings to the hand
that gives flowers.

- Chinese proverb

When the rains come,
do you fear
being swept away
by a torrential thrust of
becoming nothing
and everything?

- Unknown
