METAMORPHOSIS
©Gary Bowman

Hatching out, Squiggle ‘round,   Caterpillars hug the ground
Munching leaves, Wildflower,  Growing bigger by the hour
Crawling on the meadow floor  Is this it?  Must be more

More to life, Tho I can’t see,   Just who I’m supposed to be
Can we trust, Can there be,   A bigger plan for you and me?

Doubt and fear, And loneliness,  Encased within this Chrysalis 
Cocoon conceals the change in me, When I emerge, who will I be?

Stretching out, Bursting free, Painted wings, Can it be?
Sipping nectar, Flowers sigh,  Gliding, soaring, Butterfly,
Feel the breeze, Kiss the sun,  Celebrate what we’ve become
Now our dreams, All come true,  Summer’s dance, I love you
