Metamorphosis

We metamorphose through life,
First the terrible twos giving up our
Dependence establishing our new
Independence by negating things
Just to say no, petulantly free no
Longer, an infant but a child.
Next we must give up our
Childhood to be a young
Adult in our teens, then
In our 40s or 50s we
Enter middle age to
Face in our 70s our
Transition to senior
Citizen, unaware
There are more
Changes to
Come as
We face
Other
Dimensions
Beyond our narrow
Senses of which we have
Always been vaguely
Aware but too busy
Day-to-day to see
Ahead only to
Call them
An odd
Coincidence
Deaf to the
Celestial
LOL,
To put
Up our tangible
And philosophical
Playthings and move
On as a butterfly
Leaves it’s ugly
Cocoon to fly
Away to its
Next
Metamorphosis.
Oh! That’s right,
You know
Better.
