Chrysalis.
Warily, gently, apprehensively, she peers.
A sun beam strokes her face.
She pauses, puzzled by its tenderness.
Bearings regathered, she persists.
Steadfast and undeterred.
Soft melodies begin whispering to her.
A faint breeze draws her into a sweet embrace.
She rests atop an emerald blanket. Fresh aromas tickle her nose.
A realisation strikes.
This is comfort.
This is relief.
She is safe.
At last.
