we put our hearts to the sky like butterflies soaring hope
we are still those same butterflies
perhaps needing cocoons for a moment
until we find our flight again
grateful for every beautiful soul and friend finding here
may peace be within, with and find you, always

what i have shaped into
a kind of life? i had no model.
born in babylon
both nonwhite and woman
what did i see to be except myself?...

Tomorrow is another day.
