It’s not too late.
There is salvation available
still
for you.
It is all wrapped up
in how you choose
to answer the question.

The query today
as it is every day
is one of identity.
What are you going to be?
If you choose
you can maintain the status quo
and remain the creature you’ve always been
or you can flip a switch
or zag a zig
and begin your transformation
into whatever you will next be.

It is not a required chrysalis.
You may have no need of salvation
and are quite happy
in the current state of your life.
It is possible
you are not ready
for the work that goes into
the transmutation from lead to gold
or the new you from the old.
Perhaps you are not quite so bold.

And perhaps
you will eventually decide
differently.
Perhaps one of these days
you will come to the conclusion
that it is time to change
and you will learn
what it is to be created anew
whether as a phoenix
or a dragon.

The decision is yours
every day.
