I have emerged from my chrysalis
a full-formed butterfly.
You brought me here in a great migration,
having traveled thousands of miles to
safely place my egg.
But the journey was so long that
you passed onto your next form
right before I entered my chrysalis.
I emerged fully formed ten years later,
ready to continue on the path you flew
as far as my wings will take me.
What great lessons
must have been lost
when you returned to the stars.
Just as all butterflies
before me,
I must travel the path
using the codes you and our ancestors
imprinted upon my soul
before I was born.
When the stars align
to light my path
in a dark moment
I feel you there.
May the twinkle of your star
never fade
and the souls of those you've touched
continue to light
the path for those around them
for all of time.
