Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Life

The butterfly is never born with wings
She starts upon the earth and only crawls
But to that form she knows she cannot cling
For holding on means transformation stalls

The courage to allow yourself to fall
So freely that you fear that you may die
Becomes the very thing that lets you fly.
