Velvet Sunrise

a metamorphosis

By Kaitlin MacapagalPublished 5 years ago 1 min read
She remembered: Choice, enables change.

The morning glimmer of the warm amber light shines bright

gently encouraging herself to flutter open her soft caramel eyes

she resisted the fatigue that wanted to fight.

Embracing the weight of the day

she rises above the chatter that

often takes her away

from the present moment where she often felt she had no say.

Gracefully lifting her new wings high

in the midst of her still learning to fly

she inhales deeply, witnessing her breath carry her

through the baby blue velvet sky.

Watching herself emerge from unconsciousness, the silk white clouds shifted

along with the colours within her that showed true

the pastel hues of a watermelon tangerine, sheer pink and a coating of baby blue.

All she ever knew was unfolding as a sweet metaphor

an opening ceremony for a ‘Celebration of You’

releasing fear, she enables a sense of beginning anew.

A thought enters her consciousness filling her mind with vibrant colours echoing in twos:

“There is no place else you need to be but here” she hears, deep diving for a closer look at her own ‘inner view.’

The chatter in her mind becomes quiet as she transitions from rest to restore to make do.

feeling grounded with each sigh of relief,

she was now aware and awake

though her feelings at stake,

nothing could take away from her exponential growth in this state.
