Caterpillar

Inching along through this world disenchanted Oh what cruel fate has bound thee to this earth An ordinary life is not for you A shining star in the darkest of night Knowing more is needed and hungered for From this lackluster existence you'll exile To ascend high in the cerulean sky Flying blissfully with birds heavenward Enduring nevermore these earthbound days Depart on a journey of metamorphoses A sabbatical to revive the soul Cocooning thyself in a shell of silk Chrysalis evolves; transformation begins The heart will reveal when the time is nigh Emerging majestic from thy womb reborn
