It must be so, <br />that I am pupating <br />albeit without the privacy of a cocoon, <br />maturing in full view, <br />silently shedding skin that thins <br />and softens throughout the years, <br />it must be so <br />to ease my emergence. <br /> <br />It must be so, <br />that I shall outgrow my body <br />because of mortal limitations, <br />extending beyond physical <br />leaving the chrysalis of mortality <br />I shall emerge to bloom unseen, <br />it must be so <br />to ease my mind. <br /> <br />It must be so, <br />that I shall be reborn <br />but will not recognise myself in flesh <br />manifesting experience, <br />for that which I choose to be <br />is all that I am, <br />it must be so <br />to flourish and grow. <br />It must be so, so it shall be.<br /><br />Simon Bridges<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-grand-masquerade/
