Chrysalis 

Holding 

Tenderly 

Cradling 

New life 

 

Shaping 

Forming 

Changing  

Something old

Into 

Something new

 

The darkness of its walls

Will one day let the light shine through 

 

Tightly woven

Tightly bound

 

A possibility waiting to be found 

An idea waiting in fertile ground

 

It is not easy to let go of what once was

There is familiarity in known forms

Comfort in the past

 

There is no stopping the growing 

No stopping of the storm

Currents are rising fast

 

What else is there to do now 

But unfurl these new found wings 

And ride the ever changing winds
