Breaking Free

By Daphne Osborne

I am struggling to get out!

Let me out! Shouting, bawling, get me out!

Set me free!
 
Shiny hard chrysalis
 
I'm trapped inside
 
Can't move!
 
Rigid dark brown shell
 
Release! Release!
 
God begins to shake the case
It cracks!
I come out
Shake off my grey tight suit
It opens into folds of rainbow silk,
large shimmering coloured wings fluttering,
flapping, fanning,
Resting on God’s Breath
I am free to follow HIM!
