Caterpillar Mornings
by Tanager Skydancing and the Shantytown mob, especially Lissaelin.

Caterpillar mornings,
Caterpillar wakes in the dawn.
Caught by strange imaginings,
Caterpillar searches on... and on...

Little caterpillar,
  Wandering on your way,
Little caterpillar,
  What do you seek today?

Caterpilar mornings,
Munching on a daisy's leaf.
Caught in last night's dreaming,
Pensive little garden thief.

Little caterpillar,
  Come back to sanity.
Little caterpillar,
  Such things are not for thee.

Caterpillar mornings,
Caterpillar watches the sky.
Foolish caterpillar,
How could a caterpillar fly?

Little caterpillar,
  Dream wings are only dreams,
Beautiful, but useless.
  Life comes in more banal themes.

Caterpillar mornings,
It's caterpillar ways you must go.
Live and be content,
Why does a dream haunt you so?

...and yet,
      you see....

There's something inside me....

...that says,
      today....

A dream could come my way....

I don't know quite what's happening,
I feel near half-afraid,
But dreams have spun reality,
And all my dreams have made me into something new....

Butterfly beginnings,
Butterfly, recall your past.
Butterfly beginnings,
Do you think a dream can last?

...I do,
      I do...

Little fluttering butterfly,
  What songs will new days sing?
Little fluttering butterfly,
  What will tomorrow bring?

What will tomorrow bring?
