This poem was my "Birthday Poem," in 1995, written after taking a class called "Renewing Life." For the first time in years, I felt that I was starting to emerge from under the dazed-state of fatigue and resulting depression that I had functioned through during Medical School and my intern years.
This poem was read as my introduction a few months later as I graduated from my residency program at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. 
 
 
    Transformation
    Kirsti A. Dyer, MD, MS
      For years 
      I remained 
      Hidden from view 
      Afraid to show myself 
      or my true colors. 
       

      Cloaked 
      Concealed 
      I endured. 
      Waiting for the spring 
      with the sunlight 
      the signal to emerge. 
       

      Slowly 
      Cautiously 
      I begin to unfold my wings, 
      finding the courage 
      discovering my strength. 
       

      In awe 
      I marvel at the array 
      Deepest sapphire blue 
      Renewing amethyst violet 
      Tranquil aquamarine 
      Iridescent blushing rose 
       

      Sparkling 
      Radiant 
      I take flight.
