| Wings by flutterbi She waits secluded enveloped in her tiny cocoon safe from the world safe from herself Others pass by looking, wondering seeing the tiny shell not knowing of the life that grows inside unseen the fire the burns the beauty that is hidden she emerges. One day peeking out slowly afraid of what she may see afraid of the unknown so easy to be wrapped up in her shell she thinks she sheds her skin unfolding her wings her beauty abounding embracing the world once again She is ready stretching out she spreads her colorful wings and flies away ©flutterbi 7-6-99 |
