As the life of the Monarch

Green in summer
yet not their true color
the time in the world
before their releasing

So with our walk
the journey on the earth
walking in the dust
in this cluttered world

Our true colors, our lives
our true beings within
to be released in time,
oh let the kingdom begin

Rise from the chrysalis
break from the cocoon
share your true self
your colors with the world

Spirit Study
and idea that the green of summer is a false color,
that the true colors of the leaves are the colors of autumn
(and Cyndi Lauper’s song ran through the discussion too after I shared them)
