Becoming

From deep within, I am emerging.
Goddess white, and brilliant.
The flame, becomes a fire.
I am incandescent.

I have bathed in turquoise waters.
Dross has turned to gold.
Sunlight, fills my being.
I am radiant.

The skin of my youth, now shed.
I recognise my shadow.
Dark corners, banished by light.
I am reborn.

Through life we continue to shed, I think, and with the shedding comes rebirth into a new form.

I especially love the truth you speak when you say youth's skin must be shed in order for the true self to emerge. Beautiful.

Dark corners and circles but newer every day. Great way of looking at aging!
