A Flower

“There is nothing you can see that is not a flower; there is nothing you can think that is not the moon.” – Matsuo Basho

“From a little spark may burst a flame.” – Dante Alighieri

Petals burst to full bloom, rain and sun setting the stage
A caterpillar patiently evolves into a butterfly, born again, taking flight
It takes but a moment, a turn, a twist, a push, a pull
Change, guaranteed
Growth, if we allow
Transformation, if we let go

Our story, ever-changing
New, old
Slow, fast
Turn a page at a time
Write the next sentence, one word, then the next.
