Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis

Poem 1--Spring 1999

She thought she was above it,

That it would never happen to her.

She almost made it through.

She fought, struggled, attempted to evade;

As a wounded falcon, fighting against the wind,

Grace did not evolve naturally.

Flustered, she paused at the cliff's limit;

Would she end or consent?

She lowered to her knees expended.

It can bewilder anyone.

She just prayed until she got the courage back.

She merely took her time to ponder

Her total change in form.

She is thoroughly developing into

The person she wants to be.

Experience conforms her,

Creating alluring butterflies.

She professed to be above it,

Until she conceded to seek

The Only Being

Who could succor her transforming.

She finally made it through.

Poem 2--November 2013

Thinking she was above God,

That faith would never happen to her,

She tried to make it through unchanged.

She fought, struggled, attempted to evade;

As a newly born eagle flying,

Grace did not come easily.

Exhausted, she paused at the cliff's limit;

Would she fall or fly?

She lowered to her knees expended.

Metamorphosis bewilders everyone.

Praying for courage,

She pondered her change in form.

Eventually succumbing, becoming.

Experience conformed her,

Creating an alluring butterfly.

She professed to be above God,

Until she conceded to seek Him.

She finally made it through changed.

Poem 3--November 2013

She tried to make it through

Unchanged.

She fought, she struggled, she was

Wounded.

She paused at the cliff's limit

Exhausted.

She lowered to her knees

Expended.

Succumbing to God she

Prayed.

Feeling God's love she was

Comforted.

She finally made it through

Changed.
