Time can not hasten her transformation
only Nature's inaudible whispers
guide her regeneration through phases, stages
instars, changes; as she crawls, climbs
struggles...survives!
Then seeks a transcending pause
before trembling wings unfold
as wondrous apertures of black and gold,
freeing her from an earth bound plight,
to a pre-destined life of flight.
Until nature softly calls ,
and a new generation arrives;
renewed, reformed, reborn...
as a Monarch butterfly.
