When I Was by Ira G. Liss
When I was a rock I knew patience and slowly, my sharp edges became smooth While tree I knew squirrels, sparrows and mites steady friends wind and sky As butterfly how I ached to leave my coccoon, my self-made sheltered transformation struggled out exhausted on a twig flight was easy fragrant flowers shared their nectar my joyful sustenance Today, I am human. Often, I notice, it’s not easy being human. I’m still learning how. (If you know, please tell me.)
