The chrysalis.

Bask in the light
That beams from your soul
Yearning, ever learning
Discovery
That is the self.

Enjoy the luster that becomes apparent
As you awaken the spirit
That lays dormant
Within.

The very essence of you
Captured in a momentary glimpse
A mirror image
That is oh so pleasing to the eye.

As your wings unfold
Shedding the old
discard the tired skin
Eager to taste life again.
