The Chrysalis Emerging

My heart is filled with weighty matters Life’s intrigues manipulate my mind I worry I churn and sieve every thought I try to sort this problem here and that one there Some problems are like knotted ropes – Some like snakes in a pit Yet snakes seem to know what they are doing Vying for attention of a mate Or shedding their old skin for new Ah to be like the chrysalis Birthing the emerging - New Life Shedding the old weights and heavy burdens Butterflies emerge - in newness Their wings are filled with hope They lift into the air Weightless lifted on the breeze They look to new horizons New visions-single minded Though fragile –they are strong © Brenda V Northeast 28th 2012
