Early Morning Awakening ~ by Jo Lyn Cornelsen

"In the early morning dawn, misty remnants of my dream remained,
A gift of conscious enlightenment from our great Creator to me.
In that dream, I'd used my fingernails with curious intent,
Discovering one of nature's wonders.

Sudden realization stilled my fingers.
The casing was a butterfly cocoon.
If I tried to help too much
The butterfly would die,
Never getting strong enough
To really fly."
