             Azure

Pale chrysalis feels the warmth of Spring’s early sun
These past months your life protected from storm and frost
What beauty stirs beneath your plain but fragile coat
Do memories live or die as your life transforms
Until this day to emerge and then your wings unfurl
Slowly black to brilliant blue you now appear
A blue so pure no sea or sky could ever match
Yet surpassed by the attraction of your eyes azure
The tulips of pale pink the forming of your lips
Your silken hair the sun blushed hue of blondest wheat
So sweet a smile a promise of the summer fruit
The butterfly wings then like your eyes just flutter
And do you both dance a dream of mid-summer night
The unrivalled beauty of each that I compare

"Do memories live or die as your life transforms"

Beautiful sentiment and wonderful question.  If memory survives, is it faces it attaches too, or essence?  Some things move a being so deeply I don't think they can ever be forgotten, even through such a wonderful transformation.

First of all..I love the word 'Azure',
also the colour itself, & most of all reading
of this beautiful awakening, just what I
needed today.

Seems like a long time since seeing/reading you last, my friend. And you certainly haven't lost your touch.

Much enjoyed,

j.
