Chrysalis
Behold the magic that is in chrysalis,
The beauty of nature and its wonderful genesis,
From amidst a pupa ..emerges a beautiful butterfly,
A marvel of nature that evolves as time passes by.
There is beauty in all, at times in layers hidden,
We often doubt our originality; fear and guilt ridden,
After a dark stormy night emerges a beautiful morning,
It’s the darkest at twilight but at down the sun starts shining.
Supposing it’s genesis, that is the nature,
At times there is success, at times failure,
The lesson is always..be strong and strive,
Ups and downs are all a part and parcel of life.
The Pupa it struggles and as its wings begin to beat,
Like Gold in the furnace, it has to burn in the heat,
It flutters faster to escape its bonds,
Finally, it breaks free…a new life has dawned.
Nothing lost..nothing gained without a fight,
Rocky is path but you have to struggle to make it right,
Once done it’s a beautiful majestic sight,
Just like the ugly pupa now a majestic butterfly in flight.
