i was just reminded of this piece thought i would post here
Monarch butterfly emerging
Caterpillar no longer
your own words
forms your cocoon
edited into wings
Beauty within your wisdom
life teaching all to listen
Molding waste into roses
for the caterpillar
and butterfly alike
your beauty shows
in your tete-a-tete.
Transformed your wings
Unfolding our understanding
of a writers special
Kind of weird
only after a caterpillar
Has gorged upon
A story tellers inner being.
