Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis is a miraculous process, whereby an insect or animal transforms from one form to another i.e. caterpillar to a butterfly. Derived from the Greek language, it's definition directly translates to, 'change form'. In terms of human life, it can mean the process by which one changes their attitudes, beliefs or behaviour. One cannot always recognise a change when directly in the process of transformation, but one becomes aware, succinctly once that change has been made.



Metamorphosis

As the cloak withers;
Shake off its dust.
See the gem underneath the
mask -
Revel! in its transformative
nature,
The miracle of change;
Juxtaposed with the illusion of
stability.
A chrysalis becomes a butterfly;
It may only spread it's beautiful
wings for a short while,
But it embraces the wonder of
life.
How can it not?
Be the changing river of life
that you are,
And love that we never step into
its waters twice.
