Kamikaze leap into
thin air, suspended,
spinning slowly, safely,
a single thread
the safety net.

Silken lifeline quickly
gathered in, climbing
back, position reinstated,
carefully chosen cloister
sealed tightly shut.

Sequestered like a
hammock strung between
leaves, outwardly motionless,
a metamorphis within,
genesis revisited, reformed.

Emerging slowly, crumpled
wings unfurled, pumped
full with lifes
juices, flexed, tested
for first flight.

Poised like a
living tapestry, watching,
I cannot leave,
tables turned, transfixed,
soporific, hypnotic beauty.

Languidly flitting away,
I remain, subliminal
messages imprinting, mood
enhanced,emerging from
my crysalis, rejuvenated.

I lived within your exquisitely told whirling to metamorphosis of life of the crysalis, naturegirl. What perfecto lines. What drama. What life!

Lovely, naturegirl.  I love how the real subject only became a metaphor at the end of the poem, and how even then, it was what drew the poet and the reader to the reality behind (the reality of) the now (almost) metaphor.
