Chrysalis
Changing,ever changing
Chrysalis is your name
who you were in the past
will not be who you remain
When did I start changing
when did I decide
the time had come to leave the past
and let that within abide
Changing,ever changing
emerge with wings anew
spread them wide
let them dry
from the tears that once were you
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words:
Very few people call me by my given name

Hello, Chrys
This is a celebration! Somewhat bittersweet, but yet, a celebration! The past few poems I've read from you have seemed that you are indeed in a state of transition. I'm glad those wings are spreading out! The last line is so lovely...
Thank you!

Hopefully...
I am not last to the table with my comments. I know the name and the meaning behind it. I like this much. Indeed, we all change a little every day; I see the changes in yourself and applaud them. Love seeing you laugh and becoming the best you can be. This poem is proof. ~ Geezer.
