Linking to W3 “Weave Written Weakly” Prompt #122 here…

witness beauty in life’s changes
butterfly desires milkweed
she explores plant’s veined underside
her oval egg clings to fresh leaf.

little larva hatches from egg
witness beauty in life’s changes
striped larva eats voraciously;
caterpillar expands with growth.

now prepares for its pupa stage
caterpillar hangs down in “J”
witness beauty in life’s changes
asleep as jeweled chrysalis.

chrysalis darkens final day
bright monarch slowly emerges
crumpled wet wings plump up to fly
witness beauty in life’s changes!

Change is the certainty of life —

we (un)certainly hold choice in our hands:

to fear strangeness of change,

or

to face love’s changing challenge;

to hide from (unfamiliar) monsters

or

to seek soul (familiar) opportunities

to shrink

or

to grow!

As we embrace each (minor) moment’s exchange,
we may become (major) catalysts for change:

watch butterflies emerge

encourage spirit’s surge

relieve evil’s scourge.

One must learn to trust the unchangeable One

who forms life

transforms change

conforms us

until his perfect (and perfecting) will be done.
