From hardships, fibers spun

Intertwined with knowledge gained

From time spent under the sun

The silks’ strength maintained

Spun around and around,

For a protective cocoon to form

Suspended above the rough ground

Within, all that was is torn

The pieces, now apart

Cast away the rot 

Create from the old a work of art

New life, birthed from the lot

Burst forth scaled wings glistening

One who was so squalid

Growth from changes

Emerge, new- no longer so pallid
