Bright Butterfly

A caterpillar; a human body,

Acting & thinking only to survive.

A comfortable environment,

Is where I will thrive.

Bathing in routine & false riches,

Believing my world is cosy.

I won't share my love,

Even to those most nosey.

Let no-one in, protect myself,

From the imaginary boogeyman.

Spend all my days expecting failure,

Holding on Hope with impermanent hands.

Stuck in the past, scared of the future,

Unable to comprehend glee.

My head is up, and eyes are open,

Yet still I cannot be free.

New branches; new pathways,

Slowed only by fear of the unknown.

Thoughts dwell on seeking release,

To prove that I have grown.

Participating & Committing fully,

In a life-changing, life-fulfilling event.

Be patient, kind, loving, & gentle,

But also scream, kick, throw, & vent.

Washing away all deadly disturbances,

Detoxing the inner & outer layers.

Open my eyes: it's crystal clear;

Experiencing only love for all players.

Transformation; Let go of the cocoon,

I have everything I need.

I need nothing & I want nothing;

To ask for more is purely greed.

Colours brighter, focus and awareness,

Peaked & refined unlike ever before.

Let loose into nature & the Universe,

To be able to experience so much more!

Spread my wings; experience freedom...

I am awakened, I am alive;

Sudden consciousness, strong awareness,

Here is where I will truly thrive!

Lifting my head, opening my eyes.

I love…
