Shy Butterfly Poem by Chris Embrick

Shy Butterfly



Slow to emerge
from my cocoon
I wiggled free
beneath the moon
Amazed I gazed
up at the sky
At first more than
a little shy
So on the limb
I stayed the night
I stretched my wings
with morning's light
And with my womb
still clinging high
I sailed away
a butterfly.
