Emerging from a cocoon
The butterfly is sticky and wet
An ugly truth is change
And it never comes without pain
Crawling from the sea
The crab is exposed and heavy
Inescapable is transformation
But not without hesitation
The mother screams
As she births her babe
And then she cries
As she cradles that love she made
The child moans
As he buries his authors
But then comes home
To raise his daughters
Nectar from colored buds
The butterfly mutualizes
Intoxicating to pollinate
Yet exhausted by the end of the day
The child grows
And becomes a man
And even though it is hard
He tries as hard as he can
Like a butterfly
He never stops flying
And like a crab
He always feels like he's fighting
Fickle-minded is a man who never wins
But never invalidated by short-comings or sins
And if a simple touch could heal his wounds
Imagine the wonders an embrace would do
Strong and brave is the woman who lives
Locomotion fueled by the fire within
Absolved by a bow and a loving kin
Then the dance begins all over again
The body fades
As it collects its age
And then it dies
And on top of the skull, we build a brand new stage
The spirit sighs
As it holds its lover
And then goes home
To guide another
