Metamorphosis

I, like the Phoenix rising out of the ashes, here I am again A rainbow hiding in the clouds after an early morning rain A diamond buried underneth tons of useless rock A new battery in an old rusted clock An old house being repainted in a bright hue Old,worn out furniture being replaced with new A tree turning green and budding with flowers in the spring A frisbee in a forgotten closet that you can still fling A caterpillar in a cocoon waiting to change Like different types of flowers I need to rearrange I feel like I'm climbing a treacherous mountain, trying to get to the top Sometimes I feel like a merry-go-round that just won't stop Ah Life!-it awakens the senses and hardens the heart And breaks you out of your cocoon gradually devouring each part It changes you not into a moth you were many years gone by But emerges you as a beautiful, free butterfly
