Metamorphosis



The birds fly at nightfall
There might be an owl
Sent from the after all
Where my mother went
And keeps an eye on me

Two dogs cheek-by-jowl
And I wait for sunset
Soon the moon will rise
We try not to forget
To go out and see

It might be a surprise
Might be what is meant
By serendipity
We never know when
We go what we might get

Having never been
Let down by it we let
It be what might be
Nightly in the silent
Metamorphosis

We hope with open eyes
Living up to this
Is it we realize
Not giving up yet
After all at nightfall

Anything might happen
So we wait for it

I sense a bit of science fiction in this one. By going out under the desert stars, one might expect to be picked up by some extraterrestrial beings with that capability. Awaiting there in the dark only under the light of the stars, one can look forward to being swept up by extraterrestrials and transform into the butterflies (?) that we really are.
