I AM A BUTTERFLY

"Written with the realization that I was my own prison and I held the key. Written after I had done a lot of soul searching after a painful ordeal and found a new zest for life that I never felt before"

 

I AM A BUTTERFLY

 

The air was stagnant

for so long

like a frozen

river

that used to flow

still as an ocean

that lost her

tide

but now I have

finally arrived

I AM A BUTTERFLY

out from the cocoon

since Octobers

dreary nights

hidden for so long

but now

metamorphosis ed

and I know

I AM A BUTTERFLY

With

glorious wings

new and strong

in which to fly

a beckoning

a calling

cries out to me

Live each and

every moment

unencumbered

and free!

Soar like an eagle

high!

I am no longer

hidden and still

I AM A BUTTERFLY

Colors that are vivid

colors that are true

I have a awakened

like spring

I see my

reflections in a

morning dew

quiet in contemplation

but so alive

like a new born deer

I have finally

arrived!

opened my eyes

stretched my wings

I AM A BUTTERFLY

And

the songbirds

are singing
