I am small.
I am green.
I am alive,
look and you shall see.
I have big dreams,
to take flight one day.
I will change,
right before your eyes, they say.
Wrap myself up, tucked away,
I will sleep now.
When I awake,
I shall spread my wings and fly.
I dream now,
until the new me arrives.
I will go from land to sky,
and grace you, as I flutter by.
smiles...nice happy verse today...and yes one day it will transform, as i hope we all do...

Love it! And I think Heaven is absolutely right, that picture of the green/yellow/black caterpillar is absolutely on target with your lovely poem.... This is very reminiscent of my childhood, when I spent hours reading the finely detailed descriptions of natures little pleasantries.... you captivated me too, and I saw in my mind children enjoying this poem everywhere... Then I glanced over and saw your "About me" section... I should have known... Adorable poem Gwen... Really glad to have visited your lovely page......
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for your thoughts!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this one myself and embrace the beauty found in nature all the time. It's all around us and keeps us moving forward, always. :)
