My Awakening From A Deep Sleep

My awakening from a deep sleep
In the Fairytale Sleeping Beauty
As the fruit poisioned her
From just one bites she took
The she fell into a deep sleep
Only to be awakened by a kiss from a True Prince
This Prince had to be full of Love
As the words in the world trampled over me
I too fell into a deep sleep
I had eaten of the World
In which their fruits were poisioning me
I was not mindful at all
I was slipping, slipping, and slipping away
Could not see
Everything was hazy to me
Numbness was all I became
The Sun showed her presence
But I counld not envision her gracefulness
The Universe called my name
I did not hearken to her Music
They the World Bewitched me in another Universe
Where time seems like it did not exist
Where convicitons was not alive
Until it became transparent to me
That I was in Bondage
Before a Butterfly is awaken after the Winter
Completes her Enchanting Smile
She is growing from a Caterpillar
Into a Mature Butterfly
She had to a take a long journey
From an egg to crawling little bug eating leaf after leaf
Until it was time to create her jade colored Cocoon
So she had to make it just right so
She could survive the Winter's Smile
When the Spring approaches Dancing
She the Butterfly know the sound of the
Spring's Music playing
She is ready with vibrate Sparkling Golden colors
On her wings with Black tear drops
To show the World that awakening from a deep sleep
Can truly make you Beautiful
If you follow your Heart
As I awakened from my deep sleep
I realize that I must be Meek
I must open my Heart completely to the Universe
Listen to her Music that is her Wisdom
She will devulge all her Secrets
That will lead me to be Victorious
