The Purpose – Author Veronica Thornton

By Raja's Insight on April 24, 2018 • ( 1 )

Why does a caterpillar turn into a butterfly

do you think it thinks it’s about to die

or does it dream of flying through the sky

does the caterpillar have a rough life

before its wings sprout and take flight

it is low to the ground all furry trying to get around

it must be scared of getting stepped on but it has to press on

then it’s forced into a cocoon

where there’s not much room

for the metamorphosis that comes soon

not knowing what others will see it can’t wait to break free

bursting out of the cocoon a new life it will assume

able to soar and fly free beautifully

do you think it ever has memories of all of its setbacks

other animal attacks or the times it barely got away

at times just surviving day to day

maybe that’s why it flies that way

it glides through the air without a care

looking as light as a feather and beautifully put together

maybe the caterpillar’s purpose

is to show us that life is worth it

it does mimic our existence exhibiting so much persistence

learning many lessons early in life

while learning to adjust to the struggles and strife

making changes under a metamorphosis

while in a cocoon fortress

then with new insight you claim your wings

spread them and take flight

beautiful and free

now understanding what life was meant to be

so why a caterpillar to a butterfly

starting out vulnerable and small

learning about life how to get around

knowing all the time its transformation bound

while gaining new insight then take off in flight

exploring new sights elevating to new heights

remember the goal is to soar and fly

being comfortable in your own skin, shining from within

seeing things from beginning to end

allowing the metamorphosis to set in

finding what you were meant to be

and embracing it beautifully

I think that’s what the caterpillar wants us to see

at least that’s a caterpillar’s purpose to me.
