Butterfly flew

Caterpillar crawled
It turned within
When restlessness stirred 
A sea so vast 
That was withheld 
from rising to meet
The sky of its dream
A Knowing Hand then
Cracked its shell
Lo behold 
The ripples set forth
Lofty waves that
Rose beyond 
A silent potential
Was thus released
To transform and grow
When wings of freedom 
Flapped the soul
Who could stop 
What was meant to be?

When HE intervened
True beauty was born
From trappings of form
Brave and sure 
The butterfly took to its wings!

ON BIRTHDAY of my sister who has embarked on her own flight free of fear, so full of light.
