Warmed by the cocoons embrace
For many days I hibernated
Hanging on this branch
Meditating my role on earth
But now the world awaits.
Waking from my slumber
Darkness all around
Yawning, stretching
Wriggling to be free
To reach the sunlight out there
For this nest no longer homes me
Yet this test no longer haunts me
Spreading my wings
In ecstatic rainbow colors
Tentative kisses to the flowers
Plenty of kisses from the children
In their search of playful beauty.
I’m willing the wind to carry me
To touch and float in the clouds
Riding the meadow bushes
Savoring the morning dew
Before I become one with the earth
Once more to the place of rebirth
