Cocooning, The Butterfly ~ Poem 

SYNOPSIS:

No love is truth lest truth be unconditional and spoken

I was once a lost and dying Caterpillar

Alone and afraid I approached from the desert

You found me shivering in fear, thirsting and weak

Soft-spoken words emit with genteel kindness

Your love cocooned me in warm solace

Sheltered in your shroud of safety, I was held

Cradled in protection, nurtured in the darkness

Basking in the delight of your sunny gaze, I emerge

Renewed in rebirth and joyously weeping, I spread my wings

Your gentle kiss in life’s first embrace and I soar

A Butterfly’s whisper echoes free through love’s sanctuary

Embodied in the serenity and fulfillment of your pleasure

We share one living soul, one passion, one truth, one flight

My Cocoon, you are my very best Part

For without your love to cocoon me as a Caterpillar

I could not live this life as your Butterfly

Our love is truth, because our truth is unconditional

And spoken, when we say . . . I love you.

This is my original poem, the beginning of my venture into writing, and the inspiration for bringing my characters to life.
