"Learning to Fly", by Erin Piazza

It is an honor to share this poem on my blog. Thank you, Erin!



LEARNING TO FLY


In gold touched movements

All but still,

Many skins are shed.

Cocoons hang from their silken threads,

And wing patterns become visible.


Thousands of scales

In a palate of perfection

Push through transparency:

The chrysalis opens to beauty.


Delicate angels

Spread gossamer wings

Preparing to meet the world.


-Erin Piazza
