Your life seems sudden
And less familiar –
Sometimes bigger,
Sometimes louder than
You ever expected
Drowning in cacophony
Echoes –
Echoes in the caverns
Of memories you can’t expunge
So yearning to be free
When the lily throws herself wide open
When the eaglet spreads unsteady wings
When the moistened foal first stumbles, then rises –
Entreating the world to see
That is you, in molt,
In catharsis; metamorphosis –
From the splitting cocoon,
Emerges beauty –
Rainbow wings spreading,
Independent and delicate –
Confident and free
Free.
This is you
Kelly, transformations are difficult and unavoidable. Once this process has been accepted, the beauty of it all seems less traumatic. I like this poem very much. Thanks.
That's brilliant Mr. Vinal... it seems very close to you (and to so many of us) . Lyla
Well written and interesting write. How we see ourselves or others...always never the same. Growing, changing, never the same. Wondering and hoping always for the better, or have we arrived at who we have finally become.
a visual treat! ! 'the lily throws herself wide open the eaglet spreads unsteady wings the moistened foal first stumbles, then rises the splitting cocoon Rainbow wings spreading' its indeed very graphic.. n da lines 'Echoes in the caverns Of memories'- indeed very striking! ! an amazing poem.. :) regards asma...
