127 wonder

in the end

we should not be measured

by the size

of our achievements, or wealth, or fame

but, rather, 

we should be measured

by the size

of the wonder we infused

into all of our earthly days

111 butterfly soul

the worldly grub

of my spirit

writhes and creeps

through the luxurious forest

of life

called to my cocoon

at first I resist

the change is awe-full

the pain, the total surrender of form

is not negotiable

finally

when I emerge

the world is changed

and I drink the elixir

of a thousand flowers
