Transformation

Dedication to the spiritual journey

 

Transformation

 

This precious shirt   This eternal soul

I weave for you          out of my pain

Longing only for you to be whole

I sit ever silent under the sun and rain

 

Days they pass by and still I weave

The nettles sting and burn ever more

But this task is one I refuse to leave

To heal the wild swan that I so adore

 

Jealousy steals my precious ones away

And I still remain dedicated to you

Burning at the stake because I did betray

Still I finish       what I set out to do

 

As I wither and die at last you come along

And save us both with your beautiful swan song

Transformed     now in your human form

And I reborn after the spiritual firestorm
