Metamorphosis Poem by Theodora (Theo) Onken

Metamorphosis

Rating: 5.0


It was a caterpillar kind of morning
...Yet i could feel a change born in the air- -
Outside all the birds were feathering...
.....While strange clouds were weathering
And a "butterfly" of a day came out of no where!

The wind was sort of fluttering
...As if the days wings were going to fly- -
As if a true "chrysalis" moment upon verdant leaf was beginning
.....As if "Monarch's" were becoming the sky!

It was almost like "mother nature" had taken up painting...
...And had altered her canvas for this day...
As if she painted in the beauty of the "metamorphosis"
.....Of some of God's own "handy work" come out to play!

This is so beautifully written, so gently poetic. A breath of great beauty in very troubled times.
