A caterpillar,
this deep in fall-
still not a butterfly.
Translated by Robert Hass
(A Caterpillar - Poem by Matsuo Basho.) **A flaw in nature; delayed process. Love the verse.
The appropriateness of every stage of life is integral to the process. Regardless of its beauty that surrounds, the true beauty is in the flaw.
