Your Wild Essence Knows | Poetry For Transformation Pains

When you have yet to emerge from a period of darkness and you are very much still "in the chrysalis", dear one, this is for you. When what you have always known yourself as has dissolved into a gooey substance and you are in the belly of metamorphosis, it is time to tune into your primal howl during your rebirth. We cannot control the seasons of nature, but we can feel alive through the process, knowing that this, too, is a part of life. You will eventually emerge with wings...

Darling,

When you find yourself becoming brittle,

And with every slight movement,

You crack,

Watching the last bits of yourself crumble away.

When you trade your dreams for the sake of preservation,

Gathering yourself in what remains of this half-carved-out shell.

When you are no longer recognizable to yourself,

Just like the echoing promise for eventual death,

So too is the promise of eventual rebirth.

Dear one,

Do you feel that you've been gripping your last safety rope?

Have you been using all your strength,

Balancing on the edge,

Never fully breathing?

Have you been waiting desperately for the next step to unveil itself?

Well take a deep breath,

And come to lay down with your arms wide open.

Emerge beneath the cackling skies,

Let the angry thunder rumble in your bones,

Let the crisp raindrops dance along your skin.

Let yourself become wet by the elements.

You cannot control this storm,

Nor can you rush the fog it brings with it,

But you can remember your wildness in it.

Howl with the thunder,

Let out your primitive longing,

Sing out the howl of your soul.

Remember this humble familiarity of humanness.

If you listen,

You will hear it echo in harmonies,

Moving through the vocal cords of generations beyond time and space,

Echoing throughout eras and regions and hearts.

Let the stream of water falling from the unseen wash through you.

Let it empty you,

A belly deep,

Surrendering to be in this howl,

This crumbling,

This emptying and unknown.

But remember my love,

These cells inside of your body were made from darkness.

Within your mother's womb,

Your wild essence knew how to grow life here instinctually.

This damp darkness fertilizes life.

It will show you the way.

Patiently be here,

This body knows how to sprout again.
