Chrysalis Caged
the chrysalis
caged
cocooned
inside
a bony mesh
hide, stay alive, hide
the chrysalis
stirs
pulses
current flows
a tattoo beats
remain where you are
stay quiet
remain where you are
the chrysalis
two-sided
still incomplete
only one half
of dualistic bliss
lightening strikes
only once
breathe caught
the chrysalis dies
is born anew
flutter
sprout wings
flutter
the chrysalis
has learned to fly
to soar, to love
but never
will it be free

this is beautifully written, the live of one born anew to become another, but losing it's original self, but all within that one life time. Really lovely xx

Interesting philosophical poetry that speaks of change, desire for freedom, life imprisonment for cycles, attachment to life.

This poem has such a lovely cadence, @prydefoltz! It’s beautiful, and a joy to read, even with its slightly melancholy ending.

the chrysalis goes out to love hastily. The minutes of life are counted in seconds. It becomes a beautiful butterfly to die
