A Butterfly Sword
by Michael DefriesUnderstood
On such a level
Cores exposed
Thought extinct
Now radiating
Immensity
Without words
Conveyed
Illumination
Watered
The seed
Nourished
Allowed
Transcendence
Ideas of
Paradigm
Skillful means
Possessed
Never admitting
Always dispelling
Expounding
Shattering illusion
A Butterfly sword
Justice freedom
Liberation
Programmed
Slavery
Abolished
With
One stroke
Faith restored
Finds humanity
Calla lilies grow
In footsteps as
Every multitude
Is Loved Deeply. 01/04/2010 Posted on 01/04/2010
