Emerging as cocoon sheltered infant or butterfly
Senses also thus evolve with an opening of the eyes
Evolving, shaping, no escaping; emotions arise
An opening of the eyes, the intake breathing sigh.

Spread the wings and test the limits of this newfound land
Taste and touch and feel it- the twitching of the hands
Gasp in wonder, bow in awe; absorb all you can
The twitching of the hands, rooted where you stand.

Listen, learn and apply what experience you gain
Soaring midst the silver clouds- the rushing through the veins
Sit; abide, throughout the rains until each storm will end
The rushing through the veins, life goes on again.

Viewing orange sunset, finding robin eggs nest
Hearing babe’s first cry, welcoming a guest
Cowering in fear, glowing with lover’s light
The stab of painful tear, incredible nature’s sight
Scampering to and fro, the anticipated “Hello”
Brandishing a lie, the inevitable, final, “Goodbye”.

An opening of the eyes
Intake breathing sigh
Twitching of the hands
Rooted where you stand
Rushing through the veins
Life goes on again.
