Emergence

The moving from one 
thing to another is
hardly cause for celebration 
As the caterpillar moves 
away from itself and 
into something new and 
as the summer gives 
way to fall and 
as the wood turns 
to ash its important 
to remember that what 
once was still is
Still is is all
that we ever have 
for everything now was
borne from something else 
previously something else borne 
from something else borrowed 
broken or bruised we
all are the result 
of what came before
