BUTTERFLY

BUTTERFLY
by Bluecloud

The caterpillar, nimble and afraid…
Rushes to take cover
Runs away to save itself

As it reaches a place of safety
It slowly wraps thy self
Covering thy body and hides…

Dark but has no choice
As fear embraces
Tears just flow

Strength is gathered slowly
As light brims
Beneath the covers it shines…

Time to shed the wrap
There it goes…
Out goes the caterpillar

Alas, a new one
Uncovered and revealed
Thyself now with wings
