Body Wisdom

Complete skeleton. Can't be gelatin.
Must be strong enough. Handle storm's windy rough.
Or else it will fail, without structure's gel.
Weld together bars, woven from the stars.

The Universe contains rocks, that'll thwart being off knocked.
And the pump that sends; deep dark space's friend,
Must be working first. Then quench clothing's thirst.
For the outer ware, always comes later.

First the cells and bones. Then shape of all zones
Grow in proportion, before emotion.
Weave wings that are strong, connected with long bond,
That won't break in flight, when with all of our might,

We depend now on them, to fly from the glen,
Up into the air, past our past's dark scare.
Out over the plane, through the Sun and rain.
Through tornado's eye. Almost touching Sky.

Strong yet light they be, our wings from a tree,
Symbolize her Love. Sending us above.
Crafted in a shape, Butterfly and Ape.
Connected in spine, a new creature, fine.

Whole eggs sprouting from; fertile, giving womb.
With the live fluids, fertilize the seeds.
Pouring into Earth. Filling up Her girth.
Many growing wholes, every color enfold.

As the Light from Sun,
Powers everyone.
The Whole Universe,
Loving Chrysalis.
