Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
Beauty is added to earth.

Metamorphosis

by HarryT

 
 
The chrysalis slits open
Metamorphosis transforms
Caterpillar, now a nascent butterfly
Wings still wet, waiting to begin
 
Warmth embraces this fragile thing
Veins strengthen, wings fill with color
The world awaits the coming out
Wings unfold, gusts of wind lift
 
Uncertainty argues, then relents
Orange color wings spread wide
Flutter high into the waiting sky
New beauty has come to earth
