Sometimes the instinct to survive is shrouded in semantics, both for the speaker and the hearer in the communication. Unconditional love struggles under the intrusive reality of life. The heavy expectancy to be strong, to be positive and to perform accordingly sounds wonderful in theory; in real life terms, an impossible feat to obliterate negative thoughts and actions. The price is a fragile butterfly that emerges and doesn't know how to fit into the limitations on offer. Without a leaf of light on which to rest, the butterfly will falter and the delicate flavour of finely spun wings will dissipate into the breeze and be gone. Words however, can bring us freedom from pain, and unfold and mend the wings to fly again. Through free verse, emotions are explored, giving a small insight into love, hate, marriage and divorce, birth and friendships, and life in general. It is through sharing that we learn, and it is through sharing we find and believe, we are not alone.
