It seems some are born to crawl
Endlessly grasping & gorging
Their field of vision is very small
A more balanced view needs forging
As time goes by some begin to mature
Minds enlarged by what they've ingested
They wish to change & no longer endure
Leading a selfish life that's been wasted
Change can often be a painful thing
Rebirth & perseverance never come easy
Achieving potential, such joy can bring
From darkness to where it's bright & breezy
Feeling the wind while the sun warms your heart
You begin to see & feel things differently
This undertaking is never too late to start
It starts by reflecting inwardly
Over time a metamorphosis takes place
Friends & strangers start to take notice
Frowns replaced by a smile on your face
Fueled by contentment, peace & inner bliss
Reborn from darkness like a fiery phoenix
The caterpillar emerges from it's cocoon
Bathed in light & mindful the path it picks
Transformations come aplenty very soon
Releasing trivial attachments, cravings & pride
Unable to continue living a lie
Inner beauty pours forth unable to hide
As emerges a magnificent butterfly
The butterfly's beauty appears a fragile form
Though what comes from within can't wither & age
When they flap their wings, afar begins a storm
They know their limits & are wise like a sage
Gracing everywhere it flutters by
The butterfly's beauty is enchanting
Choosing where it's bright & breezy to fly
A dark past is left for recanting
