Breaching

As the emergent butterfly

Breaches through the chrysalis

Drops of blood fall

Upon the sacred ground

Of its becoming

With the tearing apart of the old casing

That contained the transforming embryo

Now growing

Tests its hidden strength

In the power of wings slowly unfurling

To gossamer glow of softly tempered silk

There is a power that is belied

By the sheerness of the fabric

Reflecting light

Multi coloured rainbow hues

Of the prism

Of the vibrant light body

Whirling in a kaleidoscope

Of emergent creation

Born of the final difficult

Reconciliation of darkness

Of the soul’s

Becoming

Encompassing

Beauty, hope

And suffering
