the unfolding

i wish i could remember
when i was butterfly ,
unfolded my wings
first time

came out of
my cocoon
where i was growing,
changing in sleep


i wish i could remember
these dreams
and even
i still feel this time

I wish i could remember
how i was a caterpillar,
all intention
fixed on ingestion

i wish i could remember
how i knew magic
and the time
to go into my prison,

all i know now
is that i was
always vulnerable
in all stages

all i know now,
wisdom is life itself,
joy of transience
unfolding
