Dew on
A morning leaf
In the vicinity
Of a branch
Carrying
A precious
Being
Cocoon
Enwrapped
Hanging upside down
And about to hatch
Wings emboldened
Spring forth first
Released
From the shell
Of safety
The head
Appears next
Taking stock
Of the forest
And its internal changes
Viewing it from
New lenses
Finally
The key
Moment begins
Wherein
Flight begins
Becoming
A reality
Flapping steadily
The right force is found
Applied continuously
And away
He goes
To take in
The world
One flap
At a time
