| Transformation |
| Darkness surrounds me in its warm embrace I sleepily push at my enclosure It remains snugly in place Soft silky threads smooth my composure My soul is set adrift in space It is not time yet for my venture My body changes as I sleep My soul makes ready it's departure Soon, very soon I will leap Images dance across my mind Of the bright future yet to pass Love, hunger, knowledge and power in kind My time has come at last! Hungrily I push at my bonds Working to break thru to the light Hard won freedom and hope dawns Suddenly, my wings are free to take flight Excitedly souring above my cocoon A beautiful butterfly's transformation completes Instantly, a fresh new life softly blooms The cycle of existence continuously repeats |
