Consciously

little pieces fall to earth
of walls that protected the tiny bird
sit down on warm ground
it will light up the life inside
this little body has to find the right spot
breathe deeply and gently
feel the cavernous current
its only purpose is to throw you in throws
it will calm and feed you in ways new to you
you can know the stillness and clarity, too
it is like a magician has shown you the trick
and you don’t need to know the mechanics of it
you just find that warm corner in the smallest of space

open up all your senses and give in to nothingness

Butterflies Fly

how it all works only boggles my mind
one minute you're down and then fully alive
yesterday's sorrow and pain turn to nil
gratitude and sharing spilling down the hill

world takes care how you can't understand
it keeps on showing its caring ways
continue this journey with no fear or doubt
if you can't see clearly, you have painted that darkness

do not listen to those who've dismissed you in past
never underestimate the power of a human life
grow humility and power inside your heart
there aren't any obstacles if you say "I just might!"

please remember to hold your visions clear
and be wise enough to accept guidance when given
there is very little shame in admitting fear,
yet remember, one thing, do not hold it dear

how it all really works, i cannot explain
maybe sun and the moon are having their way
but the butterflies fly out of caterpillar's design
even they spread their wings and take to flight

Unsettled

inadequate: too big, no too small, too loud, no too soft
too that and a bit much of that
inconsistently steady
the target escapes the eye
whatever the scene, 
more to be explored
unable to be with no need to seek
