Angela Crabtree Poet Free verse

Me Before I Found Myself

I cannot forsee
outside of me
I'm explaining why I am not free

This tight brigade
is of lovely jade
could this be where I am made

It is a nest
for me to rest
so I can grow and be my best

Then I shall emerge
oh what a surge
I can show off if I have the urge

For this is me
a true beauty
for that is what I am to be

Michael Degenhardt July 7, 2008 at 4:53 AM Aah, the metamorphosis of the cacoon to the butterfly us so well described here, but is it for the butterfly that exists in nature or the butterfly that exists in us all? hmmm Love the visual quality of the write and the directness, 1st person. Wonderful to read you again as well and thank you for your great thoughts on my work. Michael
