The Unwound Thread Poem by R. H. Peat

The Unwound Thread

From the beginning,
it was always about
changing who I was

As a newborn I crawled
along and felt starved
through timeless ages.

I was always hungry,
and I loved the leafy green
leaves in life's sweet garden.

I became plump through my
constant eating. I was tired
and I wanted to sleep.

I made a bed from silk and
began to dream about flying
through endless meadows.

Beyond my dream I awoke
spread my wings to
fly from blossom to bloom.
