Hanging Out in My Cocoon

 

“How much can you change and get away with it, before you turn into someone else, before it’s some kind of murder?”
— Richard Siken

 

Always changing
my butterfly self
killing the caterpillar in my cocoon
then moving on to the next
Transforming
from when to when
and from who to whom
yet always myself
I mourn for the cast off skins
of mes past
as I long for the kiss
from the me yet to come
that will send me off
this transitory form
of my eternal being.
— G A Rosenberg

 

Blessings, G

Beautiful Harbingers

 

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”
― Maya Angelou

 

Fear in becoming
the ever changing
metamorphosis
Who am I and What will I become?
Uncertainty yet in the moment
ok
Roll with it and let it happen
for it will
no matter how much we sweat it
Moth or Butterfly
we are still yet embryos of what is to come
beautiful harbingers
of an unknown future.
— G A Rosenberg

 

Blessings, G
