The Chrysalis Emerging
My heart is filled with weighty matters
Life’s intrigues manipulate my mind
I worry
I churn and sieve every thought
I try to sort this problem here and that one there
Some problems are like knotted ropes –
Some like snakes in a pit
Yet snakes seem to know what they are doing
Vying for attention of a mate
Or shedding their old skin for new
Ah to be like the chrysalis
Birthing the emerging - New Life
Shedding the old weights and heavy burdens
Butterflies emerge - in newness
Their wings are filled with hope
They lift into the air
Weightless lifted on the breeze
They look to new horizons
New visions-single minded
Though fragile –they are strong
