I desire a metamorphosis
I know, I feel,
Life can be better than this
I'd like to rise
A majestic thing
With grace and his glory
Shining in my wings.
Take flight
With colours rare and true,
Pretty like the chalkhill blue
Or glowing like the
Monarch's orange hue.
But instead I am trapped
In the cocoon stage
Wrapped up,curled
Stuck in sinful nature's cage
Wings not yet unfurled
Imprisoned by fragility
Brought on by bipolarity
Kept in emotional intensity
For what feels like eternity
But one day soon
I will feel free
From the cocoon's shackles
That bind me
I will feast on the nectar
Of His good word
And soar and flutter by
Free as a bird
Free in the sure certainty
The promises he's made
Sure of my saviour's love for me
My debts that he has paid
But yet I still feel like the caterpillar
Fumbling around
Still finding my way
I'm grateful for creation
Still orange striped and hairy
Yet not at all scary
Awaiting transformation! :)
