Heavy rain
Alone in my humble chamber
Shadows of the droplets hitting the side of the windows

I remember
I remember your smile
I remember the ways you talk and you
The way the sun rays hit on you that day when we said good bye

All I can do is to remember you
Nothing more

I'm kin to the caterpillar
hidden within seasonal sac
awaiting destined identity
tucked tightly into darkness
this secret, inscrutable place

Does it know it will become
a delicate creature of beauty?
Does it know it will soon fly?

I wonder...

do I?
