Transformation.

Transformation.

(Written for the theme of Kidderminster Arts Festival 2015)

We ache for change, beyond our norm - an inner yearning to transform.

I think within us all we have the power of transformation
A seed of hope, a dreamlike thread
A wealth of information

A hidden spark, a breath of something

bigger than we feel

A goal, an aim, a longing

A passion and a zeal

to grow, become much larger, far bigger than we seem

to somehow reach beyond ourselves and grasp our wildest dreams

A knowledge that we're meant for more, a soul that wants to fly

We thirst for metamorphosis, becoming butterflies
We long to throw off our disguise, emerge from dark cocoon
To dance to different melodies, compose our unique tune

Lets lift our heads, be all we can, be utterly renewed
we have the power within ourselves to be all that we choose
Let creativity be found, come dance through life today
A few will laugh and jeer but we'll heed not what they say
There's power in transformation lets start a revolution
Don't think that it's beyond you, dig deep for your solution.
We're not held captive, free to morph
Empowered to redesign
Our lives, our words, our essence
Our plans to redefine

Oh transformation, I embrace

your challenge, be my saving grace.
