You are becoming

What
-- and who --
are you becoming?
Butterfly,
or star?
Dancing with the flowers,
or dancing with the light --
it matters not which,
but only that
you are becoming
what you were born to be,
whether glowing with color
or dark bright beams,
piercing the night
or sparkling in the grass,
dancing above
or grounded below,
what matters is only
that you are becoming
what you were created
to be.

"what matters is only/ that you are becoming / what you were created / to be":

Sometimes, that becoming takes us longer than we might wish, though I think the result is worth the time.

I like in the image the restraint on the use of the fired colors to either side. The image reminds me of what we see through a kaleidoscope--and maybe that's a good analogy for the self: fragments becoming whole.
