After the dark night of the soul, <br />The light will shine. <br />After a time of dormancy, <br />Life-giving energies <br />Of creation <br />Will once again begin. <br />After the chrysalis stage, <br />There's no escape; <br />No going back again <br />To being simply a caterpillar. <br />Those days are forever left behind. <br />After the dark nights <br />Come winged creatures. <br />Butterflies will fly.<br /><br />Dorothy Thomas Snyder<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/butterflies-will-fly/
