From the depths of darkness, a journey starts, 

 Within a chrysalis, the caterpillar imparts, 

 Its body transforms, its essence alights, 

 As it sheds its skin, embraces new heights.

At first, a sense of confinement may prevail,

 As it surrenders to metamorphosis' gentle veil. 

 Yet within, a stirring, a whisper of change, 

 As it prepares for a life rearranged.

As limbs dissolve and memories fade, 

 A sense of weightlessness begins to pervade. 

 No longer bound by earthly ties, 

 It dreams of soaring through cerulean skies.

And then, a moment of revelation, profound,

 As wings unfurl, its true essence is found. 

 The caterpillar, reborn as a butterfly bright, 

 Emerges from darkness into radiant light.

With newfound wings, it takes to the air, 

 A symphony of colors, a dance without compare. 

 Gone are the days of crawling low,

 Now it glides with grace, a radiant glow.

Every flutter of its wings, a testament to change, 

 A metamorphosis complete, a life rearranged. 

 No longer confined by earthly bounds, 

 The butterfly soars, with freedom unbound.
