The Butterfly
I am cocooning
spending much of my time pondering questions
arising from inside
listening to my body-mind responses
recognizing their connections
being in presence
attuning with understanding
to each emotion wound loss
noticing when that is easy
and difficult to do
dancing with living death
noting when there is nothing left to do or stay
I turn towards essence
waiting until I can arrive
resting in its comfort.
After a time
I can open
my new wings
to life
