Transformation

When your a caterpillar life is pretty straightforward
You focus on stuffing yourself….literally
You have no care to contribute to society
Life is all about me…me….me

But sometimes something amazing happens
Placed in the heart of a selfish caterpillar
The desire for change…
A desire for the impossible…
Transformation

There’s only one snag
Transformation requires death…

Stillness is the start
Where you hear the whispers
Discern the intent, the themes
Of the things in your heart
Then courage to face it
Not to run, not to hide

To surrender to the death
That’s infusing into you
Allowing yourself to be cocooned
By Desire more powerful
Than the love of self preservation

In a moment
You feel passion stirring
Like fire in your veins
Something you’ve NEVER felt
You come alive

Something has to break
Old habits, desires, friendships
Your past strangling to hold you
Exhausted you wonder if you’ll make it
Blood flows…

Suddenly you feel the SUN
And you know something has changed
You feel light almost weightless
A soft breeze touches you
What’s this on your back?
Its brilliant colors startle you

Again you wait…
Moments come together
You remember what you where
But you are that no longer
Who you are now….
Remains for you to discover

You’ve been transformed…

Now FLY with the WIND…
