Metamorphosis of the Soul
In the silence where shadows weep,A cocoon of doubts wraps tight and deep.Lost in the maze of yesteryears,I shed the skin of olden fears.The night, it seemed, would never end,A tempest where the will might bend.Yet in the storm, the seed is sown,For even in darkness, the heart has grown.I was the leaf, clinging in...
