There was a time When I wasn't quite so nippy-- I gamboled about, impetuously; I chortled, oh so importunately. I wore my nacreous heart on my sleeve And brandished it about, for all to see. Yet, I committed a risible oversight-- Snubbing the warning bells in my mind. Now, I understand why most prefer The desensitizing shield of darkness Over the invigorating pitter-patter Of the surging rain. "Metamorphosis" (c) Pinterest Photo. #metamorphosis #diwa #yqbaba
