The sea’s companionate tempo
with the shore
Venus carving flowers
in her cosmic orbit,
The caterpillars sarcophagus
delivering him
to ephemeral death
and impermanent rebirth
A heart that breaks its mooring
to ride the current
of longing & desire
A fledgling’s hubris
leaping before
she’s known her wings,

And us
In divine dance
At the intersection
of faith and fortitude
