i crawled
ever
so
slowly
one
centimeter
at
a
time
searching
seeking
nourishment
on
the
earth’s
surface
my
destiny
i found it
there
it
was
in a
tree
within a
cocoon
of me
i
went
within
blackness
dark dark.
i remained still
then emerged
a Bright Being
with wings of gold and magenta
and began to fly discovering miles and miles of uncharted territory
