~METAMORPHOSIS~ If only I could know how it felt to stand before my bedroom window, touch my hand to the inviting glass, and leave this caterpillar body. If only I could fulfil my heart's desire to escape this sickly skin, for emptiness and ugliness to seep out of my tired veins to be replaced by beauty and ecstasy, to delight in the enchantment of spreading my splendourous wings for the first time, to fly beneath the heavens, to be careless, to soar. If only I knew how it felt to hear the first morning song of the lustrous red-breasted robin, nestled in the trees, like a musicbox playing a passionate melody in my newborn ears. If only I could know how it would feel to suckle on the dew from the white breast of a rose, a taste of paradise, flowing like liquid poetry upon my tongue, to be lured by the sweet, exotic fragrance of a peach stained blossom, feeling it's silky layers engulf me in it's everlasting love, to embrace the magnificence of feeling magnolia leaves gently caressing my glorious wings, like God's fingertips to the golden strings of a harp, brushing softly against the palette of my colours. If only I could feel the mist of the cloud's tears, tricking down from the deep blue sky to dance across my face. If only I knew how it would feel for my slender body to marinate in the wide open air - to glide, to be greeted by the warmth of the crimson yellow sun and by the chill of the wind, penetrating my long spine, to ingest the crispness of the autumn air above the clouds, grand and marvelous the rapture, and to flutter over the rich turquoise waters and through ardent fields of emerald, vivid beyond imagination, rejuvenating my once weary heart. If only I could journey to the ends of the earth to find glory and peace, forevermore, where pain and sorrow and loneliness no longer exist. I wish I could know how it would feel to digest freedom, If only I knew how it felt to finally be free, ever graceful, as a butterfly. By Melissa P.

Wonderful! maybe your inner you has always been a butterfly? Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. ellie LeJeune |

Melissa, you are blessed with words. I read this, and felt like I was along for the ride. You have a powerful mind. And you were just blessed by Butterfly Slippers (Janet Marie) herself, so feel extra lucky! Mike |
