Butterflies and Oceans

I love how time flies,

especially for butterflies.

How caterpillars disappear into themselves,

morph and curl up in silence,

trust the darkness and somehow return with wings,

It reminds me of how change isn’t loud,

change is mute and private

change is patient,

and sometimes,

It’s nothing happening till everything is different,

I love a butterfly’s stillness before a flight,

the way the world pauses just for a moment,

that silent moment… is forever my moment

I love the ocean,

how it never tries to be anything else

how it holds stories in every wave

Ood ones, news ones, yours, mine, our stories,

I love how beauty hides in here,

In the hush between crashing waves,

…and maybe

…maybe

I’m still a caterpillar, learning to trust my muffle

and being here…

where time stands still,

My wings will come!
