Metamorphosis Poem by Halima
Poem
Hey sis,
There is a change coming, do you feel it?
A metamorphosis unlike any other
It starts slow like the phases of a moon cycle
Like the smoke that becomes a fire that lights every soul you touch
The hairs on your beautiful golden skin stand at attention, from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.
It is a wild beast of hope, dreams, ambition, and fearlessness that scratches from within begging to be let free.
Clawing from within you with the need to soar.
The need to soar above the clouds into the stars, into the infinite galaxy where your name was written as part of the legacy you hold.
A name that will be screamed from mountains, a name illuminated by light; your name was chosen because you come from a line of greatness.
A greatness held in every fiber of your ever-changing body.
The body that tells the whole story of your life
It is a change that will explode as part of the everlasting universe.
So yeah sis, that change, that change you smell in the air, taste in every word, see in your reflection, hear in every whisper, and feel in the electricity in the air. Is here now. Embrace it.
