Butterflies And Bikinis ~ Lyric Poetry Poem by Christine A Kysely

Butterflies and Bikinis
That is the path of my unfolding

Opening myself to the Summer
To things that are warm and new
Opening myself to the possibility of
of knowing someone like you

Opening myself to all possibilities
To the warmth of the Noon day sun
Opening myself to the evening hours
To when love's music could be sung

Opening myself to the possibiltiies
of knowing someone like you
To the chance that you'll either make me smile
Or that you will ultimately make me blue

Butterflies and Bikinis
That is the path of my unfolding

Like a metamorphosis
It is the most ultimate of life's caress
It can be life's most amazing event
It can be the pinnacle of all of your success

It is the changing of the seasons
It is the shedding of your Winter clothes
It is the unveiling of one's inner self
It is being willing to be completely exposed

It is the showing of one's true colors
Both from the outside and from within
It is the vulnerabiltiy that most often comes
From being willing to shed one's most protective skins

Butterflies and Bikinis
That is the path of my unfolding

I am willing to show myself
I am will to metamorphosize from within
I am willing to expose myself
I am willing to let you see beneath my outer skin
