Metamorphosis

Your transition is a miracle 
A Divine orchestrated Oracle 
Like the ever-changing caterpillar 
Metamorphosed into a butterfly 

 Graceful and Beautiful
 Bright and Colourful 
Gracefully transforming its body 
Spinning itself like a silky cocoon 

 For a season, it goes through pain 
To renew the old nature again 
Digesting and releasing enzymes
 To dissolve all of its old tissues

  It learns to creep and crawl
 Then it learns to stand tall
 Fashioned to fly and to soar
 To kiss the beauty of a flower 

 He's made us priest and kings
 And He's given you these wings 
Spread these wings every day
 And fly just like the butterfly

Hello Gideon, Divine transition and orchestrated miracle of rebirth. Lovely season in butterfly's search for flight you've written in this poem. -Richard

A chrysalis becoming a butterfly is a wonderful nature parable of the resurrection, and of the growth we experience in sanctification. Well spoken, my poet friend!
