Metamorphosis

I am one and then I am two
And then we are three
Flesh and bone to sand and stone
Stone to sand to Earth and air
And then to water

Shape and color of the sky
Free to fly, and wish and dream
To transform to become
I unravel, I dissolve I remember

My face outlined in the stars
Becoming the night, becoming the stillness
A chill in the air, a breath in the light
I transform, I become, something else
Someone new

Today into tomorrow
Tomorrow into never
Never into when, and then
Then into now, and over again
Fibers in glass, weaving
Knowing all that is to come
And still remembering nothing

Tears to brine, to salt and wine
Hold me close, but lightly
Something more, something less
Breathing groans collected in the fog
Sounds to song, and words to air
A wIndless night, with steadily streaming lights
We sing to the stars

Trees sinking, bleeding bark to the grass
Ever changing, evolving, becoming crystal chandeliers
Deep in the hallow, a single child's voice
Calling, crying, singing
Disappearing in the arms of tomorrow's light
And yesterday's garden

Lustrous gleaming shapes
Paint themselves in the night time breeze
Three shapes inside me, moving, dreaming
And then we are two, and then I am one
I transform
I become, again
