Chrysalis

Within this rocking cradle, concealed from casual eyes,

A blissful dream is taking form, where dormant virtue lies.

Our world spins on regardless as the breeze imparts its song,

But all the while, cocooned within, tenderness grows strong.

Change can feel uncertain and stillness may hold sway,

But transformation's gentle work brings wonder into play.

For every new beginning heralds promise bright and free,

As nature's quiet alchemy brings forth life for all to see.

No longer held captive, among the leaves it used to know,

It trembles softly into the light where fragrant flowers grow.

Each flutter tells a story filled with harmony and grace,

A blessed act of wonder born of nature's warm embrace.

A gentle proof of resilience, the very embodiment of life,

Butterflies rise majestically above seasons touched by strife

A metamorphic miracle with resplendent wings unfurled,

They prove that lasting beauty will endure a changing world.
