“Metamorphosis”

I am spirit of the flower

I give leafy green for larva

as it inches its way forward

as it pauses on its journey.

I give leafy green for larva

as she kisses shining silence

giving embryo a bower

raises ransom for her dower.

As it inches its way forward

gyrates, wriggle-twist and turning

metamorphosis is stunning

flutter butterfly becoming.
