Winged Poem by Christine Austin Cole

Winged

Rating: 5.0


It’s time.

There’s no turning back once
you’ve looked yourself in the eye.
Unspoken bravery, counts.

A regurgitated universe
is still a universe, after all –
and the kitchen sink it fell in,
that assembly hall for lost souls,
becomes the reason why.

Bite the damn sky.
It ain’t gonna bite back.

Trust me.

Butterflies are only wicked
if you look at them
the wrong way.

This vividly worded argument on (perhaps?) the merits and misgivings of inevitable transformation caught my eye! If I may take the liberty (and, with hope, not sound offensive) : Lepidoptera of the world, unite!
