Chrysalis
Chrysalis
Water
Throat
Heart
Root
I am surprised to hear my voice
so bold and sure of it’s self
as if it weren’t my own
and for a second there
I have to wonder.
I listen again,
There is a distant sound
of harmony and balance,
they are bleeding together
the masculine with the feminine
It is a song
A chant
It is spilling out over my lips
But I do not sing?
I never chant?
Water
Throat
Heart
Root
Again, I am surprised by my voice,
as if I’d never heard it before
Like a child learning to speak
I am trying out vowels
Tasting consonants
Curling my tongue
Swaying my words
and cooing till song appears
It is dripping like water from my throat
My heart
My root
I am rolling out my wings
Moving decisively forward
Spontaneous and fully aware
I am full of compassion
Ready to except any change in situation
I am
I'm singing
I am aligning my heart with my throat
Bold sounds are falling from my teeth
My body is strengthening
My blood moving
I am linking arms
Hugging in my shoulders
till there are no more lines to blend
Water
Throat
Heart
Root
I will kiss them all
Lick there tears
There salt my sustenance
Until all that is left is
clear communication
A complete transformation

Glen, thank you so much for your feedback. You are quite brave to enter the world of performance. I imagine it will be quite liberating and you will get more and more comfortable up there. I knew nothing about flash fiction, so I Wikipediaed it. Thanks for the introduction. I do tend to to go on, you should here me talk. Best wishes and good luck, I'm sure you'll be brilliant! Cheers
