“…a metamorphosis brought them alive…”…”Momentary,” my poem
no portent of delight…
Momentary
There is beauty in being,
stunning beauty of the moment,
when creature and bloom
make a tiny community of two,
the flower offering so much,
as if caring to give energy for life,
the butterfly taking so little.
No guardian brings them together
to share goodness
for futures they do not share,
a metamorphosis brought them alive
but did not portend delight,
did not augur the beautiful exchange,
it set them free to play a role,
their give and take is feeding my soul.
