Beautiful Butterfly

Beautiful butterfly Once I was inside a cocoon…now I am taking my first breath with you. Breaking out of this shell that can no longer keep me entombed. I have been trapped long enough to transform And I am here to exist…see what I have become. Beautiful butterfly hidden inside my own mind… I am a caterpillar no more; Now I have set myself free, From all the thoughts that used to bind. Perfectly, I am released; Taking flight upon a summer’s dream. Rainbow wishes let me see, I am no less than everything. I am in love with the possibility of what I could be; I am able to become anything. If one chance is all we get to do our best, Then I will become a success and nothing less. No longer an embryo, I have grown into what I should have been. See the trail of colourful dust I leave behind me as I leave. My future is just beginning and I am so happy. Who knows what I will turn into eventually? (C)2016 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
