Caterpillar

Sweet caterpillar
Wound so tight
Wrapped so close
Feed upon the peace
That now encloses you.

Feed upon the soft whispers
Feed upon the love
That God has weaved around you
Be nourished by his care

Sweet caterpillar
Lay still and listen
Do not fight the isolation
Find strength in his voice
Listen as he blesses you

Drink deep of destiny
Drink of the arcane knowledge
The whispered mysteries
Avowed to your spirit.

Sweet caterpillar
Wait for his leading
Wait to hear his call
Remain in peaceful habitation
Till he calls forth your destination

Take in all he has for you
Absorb the encouragement he offers
You may be lonely darling,
But you are not alone

Sweet caterpillar
Take heart
Do not grow weary
Be encouraged by his presence
You will be lifted up.

Contend for that which is promised
Fight to attain the place he has for you
Hold fast to him;
All that he declares will be

Fight sweet one,
Fight.
Struggle for breakthrough.
Refuse the constraints.
Feel the strength he has built in you.

In the strain there is beauty,
In the struggle there is grace.
Life blood starts pumping
Blood is empowering.

Take the promises!
Fight for the release!
Strain against all that holds you back,
All that you no longer are.
Take hold of destiny.

Beautiful creature
You are new.
Coloured by intimacy
Painted by love.

Revel at the beauty you have become,
Stare upon the hand of God
The careful guide and artisan
That has handcrafted you
Lift your wings and fly to him.

Tiny worm with feet on ground
No more to hold you back
Caterpillar baby,
This I declare:
No more will you be,
What you have always been.
