April Poetry Writing Month – Day 5

Transformation is a gradual process. Some changes may appear sudden, even momentary, but truth often reveals itself slowly, shaped by situation, perspective, and frame of mind.

Franz Kafka´s Metamorphosis is deeply human. His protagonist may awaken transformed one morning, but the emotional and existential weight of the change unfolds over time. 

This poem is not an interpretation of Kafka´s work, but a personal response to the prompt, “Chasing Butterflies”.  It reflects on transformation in my own time – a movement from longing to awareness, from idealism to presence. Like butterflies, truths are sometimes elusive…. yet, unmistakable when they arrive.
