Time to Soar

Blind caterpillar wriggling along
In a hazy world of clouded illusions
Poor caterpillar couldn’t sing her song
She lived on stories of make-believe
And didn’t know the difference.

She wrapped herself up in a cocoon of strife,
And then it was time to start her escape.
Layer upon layer she struggled through
And her dreams became nightmares,
Trapping her in a world that didn’t exist.

She glimpsed a world she didn’t know
Pushing on toward it, wanting to see more,
The cocoon weakened and she became strong.
A weak, blind, lost caterpillar, not she, no more,
She was a beautiful butterfly ready to soar.
