Let It Be

A caterpillar has no thought
to leap off some leaf. Yet
when its Creator vivifies
life's essence inside,
 
It wanders off to a quiet place
as if to say, "Let it be.”
Yields breath, water, clay to be moulded,
fashioned by the art of God.
 
Its essence waits actively-passive 
inside a pupa gilded with gold, 
receives an imprint from Christ’s fingers -
an unhoped for transformation.
