\”Evolving\” – poem – Jacky B

I am safely creating my cocoon.

On a little twig, on a small branch, of a big tree.

This lonely leaf will protect me.

As I allow myself to turn to mush, the transformation begins.

I am grateful for the abundance of food and experience that lead me here.

I let go of pieces of the past that are no longer needed.

The negative experiences leave no marks.

I add strong foundations and characteristics to my patterned wings.

As they form they caress my body.

I have faith that they will guide me and give me the power to get to where I need to be.

My new legs tingle as I feel every part of them grow.

I don\’t yet know of the wonders these feet will land me on.

My face has changed, stripped of the old me, I am braver and bolder.

My body is ready and my mind is fully open to the new life that awaits me.

It is time to leave this mutating part of my life behind.

I stretch back the protective casing that housed these precious moments.

Greeted by light and endless opportunities.

Unravelling my unknown beauty.

I welcome the sun\’s rays on my wings.

I am met with my first lesson as the new me.

Taking flight.
