Metamorphosis

She sat under the mango tree  
Wore pastel yellow dress  
Had for a friend a bumble bee  
Enjoyed her sweet caress  

The sun made patterns on her hair  
Light shone through leafy sky  
Sparkles of glitter filled the air  
She dreamed that she could fly  
 
Through a kaleidoscope of dew  
She watched the butterflies  
As pastel yellow wings she grew  
And faceted green eyes  
 
And as the magic had been done  
She left the old behind  
On velvet wings, what joy, what fun  
Away from humankind
