Reclaim the butterfly
Symbol of transformation
Not simple
Not easy
But fine
Not manipulated
Traumatised
And degraded
Reclaim the symbol
For what its purpose was
And always should be
Reclaim the butterfly
And then set it free

About Helen

I'm drawn to blogging as a way to share ideas and consider what makes us who we are. Whether it's in our working life or our creativity, expression is a means to connect.
