Cocoon

The little creature felt her wings start to unfold as she began to crawl out the bottom of the cocoon.
The little green sanctuary kept her safe for many a moon, but it was now time to face the world.
She spread her wings.
After so long as just a caterpillar, it was time for something more... something beautiful.
The work not gone to waste. She fluttered through the sky.
A paralyzed woman watched the butterfly leave and head into the wild yonder.
A tear slipped down her cheek.
Maybe one day too, she would be free of her cocoon...
