Butterfly

A POEM BY MY SISTER <3:

dew drips from a leaf

a leaf that a little caterpillar walks on

it will soon be transformed

into a majestic pollinator

its climbs to a branch on a small tree

there, it starts making a cocoon

somehow it knows just what to do

it settles in wrapping itself up

it stays in there for weeks

then one day

it emerges

little does the creature know 

that he's now changed into

something very different

  • Hide And Seek

    There's a kind of love

    And it's like hide and seek

    An endless chase

    Of shadows with flowing hair

    Whispers of names and delighted laughter

    Out of sight, whistling around you

  • Smile

    The last thing that brought a smile to my lips was a school hallway interaction. A girl who I'd never seen passed me, and gave me the biggest smile. It quite literally felt like sunlight seeping to my core.

  • Thoughts About Driving

    Sometimes driving makes me wonder 

    Sitting in a big tin box, travelling faster than a hare

    Until I reach traffic and crawl along slower than a tortoise

    We spend so, so much time

    Moving from one place to another
