...and the wind will blow
and you will drift
guided by chance
and an unseen Navigator  
like a ship on a raging sea
or a butterfly caught in the wind

but don't close your eyes.

the light may be
too bright or too dim
the crumbling ruins
may fall hard
beside or inside you

just don't be found
holding tightly to the cocoon
when the metamorphosis
has long been completed.
