Where yesterday there was the chrysalis Now, there is moth Awakened and emerged free from the wreckage that had protected him Recast from the essential elements into a new being Equipped now, with the tools that would be necessary to continue So, he rests for a while And scans an unfamiliar landscape while blood fills places he never before, knew he possessed Then takes fight as a creature of the night Perhaps to fulfill the ancient urge to find one of like kind Or, contrarily Waste himself against against the barrier that separates him from the light that compels Before either, dying in the effort or wandering off looking no better for it (I thought I would use this space as a cocoon for this poem. You can see...the Chrysalis is now gone) |

Wranx~ 'Only dimly aware, now that, what has gone before is soon, gone forever And, of how all of this could change In less than a day' Knowing and feeling this one only too, too well~ Sad emote~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

And, of how all of this could change In less than a day Scary isn't it? you write deep m'friend and you write masterfully. Maree  The clouds never expect it when it rains, but the sea, changes colour, but the sea, does not change. |

After a healing, down-time period, you will emerge yet again, as the magnificent Monarch that you are!  Warm, understanding hugs, Linda |

Clever work here m'bro. Maree The clouds never expect it when it rains, but the sea, changes colour, but the sea, does not change. |

while blood fills places he never before, knew he possessed Then takes fight as a creature of the night Perhaps to fulfill the ancient urge to find one of like kind ~*~ Fill space? You presence and poetry commands that you do more than just fill space... Chrysalis aside, the moth DOES fly. |

"Awakened and emerged free from the wreckage that had protected him Recast from the essential elements into a new being Equipped now, with the tools that would be necessary to continue So, he rests for a while And scans an unfamiliar landscape while blood fills places he never before, knew he possessed" Almost makes me feel bad for using them as bait... Truly enjoyed the perspective Ed. |
