Seasons change, they roll on by,
they grow, they spend days weeks months in the same motel and then move on toward a different future, mother nature knows, but only she knows the changing of the seasons, of the patterns, their ways, only a higher power can decide when the seasons change, diverge and breakout on the face of tomorrow, fall apart, crack up, hot or cold, moist or damp, the seasons change, leaves fall to the ground or blossom in the heavens, why can't they make up their minds, the ground turns pure white and then is soiled with the color of green, so many colors so many choices, who knows, the higher power, or the inner voice, make up your mind for me, I am too confused with all this red tape, jumbled, wrapped around me, like a Christmas gift on the birthday of a God, hugging me, confusion, where do I go? Seasons the roll on by like a ball down a hill, like a tumble weed in the wind, chasing down
their dreams, dreams of surviving one more day before the last day of autumn leaves and the cold,
wicked hand of winter swipes away all that poor autumn had, confusion, so many choices, so much,
so little, who decides, who knows?
Today is a day with new insights new legends, fairy tales to be told, hidden, out in the open. Graduation, a leaving behind, like the seasons who succeed one another, today you leave behind all the childish prophecies of old, today you become the legend that was told to come, you are the one. Graduation, a rebirth in form, in mind, in body, in soul, are you ready, yes no relax you made its alright to be confused, we are all confused by the hidden realities that life presents us
Hold my hand take a deep breath, relax let go it alright
Similes metaphors, life's symbolic ruin, what does it all mean, who deciphers the code, learn the lines,
practice your part, relax let go.......
season sink into the horizon as another one bits the dust. Another day another destiny, another part to play, life ridiculous its serious, it makes us laugh and then makes us cry, why, seasons continue to shatter our plans, as a caterpillar slowly crawls across a branch, it is a stubborn branch, prickled and torn, wiggled and worn, a little bit wobbly, a tiny bit unsafe, but the lonely caterpillar still slithers along on this branch, he has no destination that I can see, nor anyone else, but the caterpillar still crawls, for he knows the way to the heart, he is some unknown divinity, like you, he knows the master plan, he knows all that most don't, for today he too begins his graduation, his journey into the beyond, into the untold, a crazy little thing called the future, funny little thing..... the funny little caterpillar, green and ugly, he seeks safety, he seeks solace, he seeks gradation, he seeks a place to begin the begin, the world is at his feet, waiting for the call waiting for the memory, waiting for the begin of the future a spider, he spins his web, the bees carry the honey back to their nest, crickets chirp in the warm August months, but the funny little caterpillar still crawls, through winter, through summer, through spring and fall, he crawls endless, pointless, no, he never feels the beating of the change, he just keeps crawling, waiting for the sign, moments will happen a half a world away, oranges and clovers, pears and apples, honey sweet, bitter cold the funny little caterpillar crawls oblivious to all around him, no one bothers to turn the other way and look, turn the other cheek, to weak, your strong, carry on, crawling along looking for safety..... The sky will always be blue on a cloudless day the sun will always shine when the smoke has been lifted birds will always sing when all the pop stars have died and still, the caterpillar crawls along the winding path of life; the branch laid out before him, her, still crawling, you can make it just try, you will succeed.... its time for more less
a cocoon is being built strong in will fierce in battle, a cocoon is being built, its time for change,
beyond the call of mother nature, beyond the will of gods unknown, beyond the very existence of
man, time to change, the caterpillar decides, a cocoon, a nest, safety from the world, solace from the
pain, a shelter from the changing of the seasons, fall winter, spring summer, no worries mate, change
is coming and there is nothing anyone can do about it, "I want to fly," says the lonely caterpillar, "I
want to be free," of the elementary school's rhymes, and the cliched times of high school, I want to
live on my own, be myself, echo and sound, bounce off cliffs, hear my voice for the first time, on my
own, again, for the first time, its what I want, no parents to hold me back, no memories to wash me
away, joy, spirit, happy, hope, I hope, the future is so bright, so light, so right, its time for a change,
revelations, its time for a change, in me, rock the boat, feel the waves, hit the shore, storm the beach,
its time for a change to begin, a cocoon is forming in the hearts of us all, when will you seek the
change, the pressure is building, feel it, build it, wrong it, right it, too, two, to, so many choices, time
for a change in me says the lonely caterpillar, change equals graduation, its an equation
mathematicians have pondered over for years, scientists baffled, wise men fooled, seek to exist, live
to change, right the wrong, feel the sunlight on your face, seek the change, feel the graduation,
painful, frightening, all the emotions listed in the dictionary, your right, happy, delightful, so many
at this time of change, graduation ceremonies playing in your ear, the pomp and the circumstances
of the seasons, eating your cocoon away, its time for a change in you, in me, in all of us says the
lonely caterpillar...
slowly things change over years, those painful days in school those wistful days with another, now alone, those days gone by, a cocoon being built, change, retribution, succession, graduation, today is the day the cocoon breaks down and the beauty is let out, butterfly, fly fly away into the heavens, change into the beauty that you always were, you are the one beyond all others, you are the one, beauty, knowledge truth justice and the American way, you graduate today, one life to live one night to give, fly fly away, into the yonder, or whatever they call it, fly into the
sky be there, paths are hard, beware, choices are difficult, relax let go let your wings coast int the
wind, let your breath carry you, one life make it good, you will beautiful butterfly, relax let go,
change, today you graduate, let go and fly soar into the clouds, you will be there, with me and all the
other you have succeeded, relax, let go fly higher than anyone, flying higher above supreme, fly with
me, catch the moment, seize the day, goodbye and good luck beautiful butterfly............
