Beauty FLys

Beauty Flys

 

I wondered around wondering what my purpose in life was.

I always felt out of place.

Then one day, I could feel a change occouring within myself.

It was like I was in a cacoon; trapped.

I was so lonely.

 

Then one day I could see the light for the first time, so I strengthed out.

Finally I was free.

 

There was something different about me.

My body, and color had changed.

I felt beautiful for the first time.

 

Then, I noticed I had wings.

So I did what felt natural; I spread my wings and with all my might, I started to flap them, and I flew for the first time.

The world was like a new place to me, I could see everything differently.

 

With all the changes you may go through, it will one day make you into something beautiful.

 

And beauty always flys

    Lovely poem April! I love your reference to the cocoon - to be in touch with one self is the ultimate step in self-actualization. And that last line takes the crown. I love it!

    Beauty does indeed fly but beauty also walks and talks and soars to the heavens as we travel across the land. Good write.
