Chrysalis #OpenLinkNight @dVersePoets
Confined, limits exceeded
no praise falls from their tongues
Confused...Is this not what was desired
Growth beyond what is expected?
Cracked, the casing shifts
splits
Colors bleeding out
Wings
Crossed...set to unfold
blossoms
Collides with gossamer webs
set to ensnare
Captured...bent and limited
no room
Crevices, expose weakness
ledge tempts
Cliff awaits...run, full force
falling
Creation...ripping pod
death to walls
Chrysalis...birthed
by my momentum.
Direct flight
to a mason jar of my own making
where tire swings
and pretty things
never outlast
the season.

No matter the endeavor
But looking for a glow
Can help one grow
Although I'll avoid the cliff at my sea
That may not end pretty
First first
Brian is worst.
I hope that you will consider sharing an offering for this year's 4th annual gratitude word quilt. You can find information about the project and how to participate at the top of my blog.
a butterfly is a glimpse of life, and love, and the beauty of the temporary.
touching, poignant and lovely, all wrapped up in one.
I enjoyed the harsh sound of the c's (and cr's) that lead each line. I think they emphasized the struggle and cruelty.
