Dark Cerulean Butterfly (Jamides bochus) Family: Lycaenidae (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I am chrysalis returned, awakening
I ask only for my mind’s true linearity
That I learn from, not forget, my painful memories
I turn, evolve, so deep within my skin
I am butterfly wings expanding, trembling
I absorb all information as a food, a source
Revise my view as different needs are changing course
Electric energy I writhe, I sing
I am nothingness and nothing is my song
This melody of time is just my fevered soul
Embrace the earth, a mother who would swallow whole
This planetary orb where I belong
I am chrysalis asleep, awaiting later years
When rising from the darkness I can yet return
Until then in this solitude I’ll bleed and burn
And comfort others, gathering their tears

She asked for a story that is personal to answer a question – I chose not a specific story nor time in my life but a question for its overview, and possibly even before and beyond this incarnation (if other lives possibly exist). So this is maybe a bit esoteric, but its the best distillation I could do of what I am inside. 🙂
