Butterfly Girl
Her secret promise
Enthralls the world
From innocent curiosity
To old desire
Days spin the prison
She will wait in
Quietly trapped
Growing, changing
She begins to break free
To start anew
Change her image
Become something more
Emerging to applause
And wide eyes
Glorious radiance
Shocking the crowd
Bright wings unfurled
Standing straight
Unashamed for the first time
This butterfly girl
Fragile flutter, flit around
Enjoy life’s summer
And the metamorphosis
That winter will render obsolete
