Metamorphosis
Published in

We do not grow as kittens to the cat
Larger versions of who we once were
But as acorns to the tree
Changing our form into something unrecognizable
Reaching ever upward
Until we reach out
Tangling our branches with others
guarding the ground around us
Adding our strength to the whole forest
inspiring others to transform
The caterpillar had the butterfly in it all along
Inside the chrysalis dissolving, reassembling
The same substance finding beauty and wings
