Snake Shedding Its Skin: A Poem of Transformation
Snake Shedding Its Skin:
A Poem of Transformation

I feel my lungs expand,
contract,
and expand again,
pushing against concepts
that bind and constrict;
concepts
that are too small or limiting
for my new maturity.

Rubbing my jaws
against stone of reality,
I loosen
the dead scales of my illusions;
thus beginning
the process of elimination.

Rib by rib
I crawl
out of my prejudices,
exposing my new knowledge
to the warmth of Divine love.
