From the shadows of yesterdays,
an unfolding flutters into first light,
and the familiar remains fall away,
as the unexpected world calls,
and there is flight where fear
once stood, looking outward,
outward to the blue.

A smile takes its shape
with a whispering gasp,
and rainbow bloom emerges
across this whitened face,
then release and flight,
as the universe sparks
with surprising grace.

Becoming, this rise,
metamorphosis,
emergence with open wings,
and taking all that waits
beyond the blue.
