Hay-Ku of the Day (Natural Wonders)

Playful old puppies, 
She frolics, he gently paws— 
Love in furry coats. 

One’s caterpillar 
Nature must die to give birth 
To the butterfly. 

A basement cricket 
Competing with my daydreams, 
Who is more alive? 

Soft chirping chorus, 
Surrounding blanket of sound, Covering silence.

[Rich Note: Another correlated sequence from Chapter I, "In the Beginning Was the Word," of "Out of My Mind and Back to My Senses" (OOMM).]
