science has explained 
the caterpillar’s transformation
into butterfly, 
yet all I care about
when her wings flutter into view
is 
her lightness,
her color,
her graceful, misguided flight;
and as she leaves my sight,
as quickly and sporadically as she came,
I have faith
that I will see her again…
…and so it is 
with the Wind, my friend.*


*Read John 3:1-21
