~English Garden~

I woke up in an English Garden

With the Lavender in full bloom

My thoughts unconsciously keeping time

To a psychedelic tune

 

While a caterpillar that looked familiar

Asked about his friend

Who crawled into a blue cocoon

And was never seen again

 

That's when a butterfly flew to my side

Landing on a mossy rock

Looked at me quite knowingly

And asked me what I thought

 

I thought about the present

I thought about the past

I thought about the question

The caterpillar asked

 

I thought about the butterfly

I thought about it thoughtfully

Till I crawled into my own cocoon

Where I too sprouted wings

 

Now I fly about English Gardens

Mostly in the Spring

Asking people quite knowingly

Exactly what they think
