Darling Changelings

2007

Out of place beings
Don't fit in
no box can contain them
Metamorphasis before your eyes.
Catepillar throws off its murky plain jane wrapper
Spreads soft feather light wings
Gently lifts offs
A velvet colorful creature flits away freely
never see one on a leash
Becoming what is was purposed to be. 

Breaking out
Stripping off , loosing, letting go, shaking off - to be
Full force run at the brick wall and breaking through
As if no resistance existed
Slapping away the grasping hands that would hold you back -down
Shutting out the critics.
Leaving them in the dust
Echos fading behind
Incredible might required to tear away paper chains 
Links that have imprisoned you for so long
Kicking shouting no more let me be
I want to live who I am
I want to question everything
experience life myself

taking your shadow into the light
exposing the darkness in us all
To be free
Lack of fear for what is ahead
Embrace change
Welcome it into your soul
As waves of pain come deal it a blow
Then lay back in the intense sweetness that follows
Gentle wind of acceptance 
Bringing peace
