Hungry to the banquet came I
Starving with desire
My soul’s net skimmed out
Captured the light and drew it in
Hungry to the banquet came I
But a tiny spot.
Wriggled and burst out
And searched for my first rich meal
Hungry to the banquet came I
Thirsty for fulfillment
I nibbled my way through
Each green offering of wisdom
Hungry to the banquet came I
Eating ‘til my skin burst
To make room for more
And then ate refreshed and renewed
Hungry to the banquet came I
Until at the last
My old wounds burst and revealed
A chrysalis of emerald
Hungry to the banquet came I
And now I can rest
Until once again
My skin be riven to reveal
A spirit refreshed
