Metamorphosis I

I am tired, weary of this
Mess this
Travelling and heavy life
Way.  Denied light and
Air too long I
Cannot grow to my full
Height - pinned
Down with care, and love, and loss.

How to let go.
How to dare to do and be
Differently - to slip
This skin and
Loose those scales to the floor
Leave them glistening and
Languid, move on

Enlightened, unburdened,
Unencumbered, free.

Such a small word.  In
Translation it stands for:
'Inaccesible mystery' or
'Unattainable reality' so
My dictionary tells me.

D..E. En cueros .D..E.  I will be.
Healthily.
