What I See, by Bonnie Green



1-15-15
Glory, glory, you
are a sight for sore eyes, and
I feel nearly blind.



1-30-15
Free my muscles; free
my limbs. I won't be chained up
like a dead songbird.

2-7-15
I am, and all that
should mean to you is that I'm
both dust and starlight.

3-18-15
No one comes with a
warning label, how much they
will try to change you

4-7-17
Miracles happen
all the time, so please open
your eyes to see them.

5-17-15
Let it sink in: You’re
alive. Dance and shout like you’re
never going home.

7-22-15
I need love in my
life, but I’m not so sure that
I need you. I’m done.

11-3-15
Bitterness never
solved much—forgiveness will heal.
Take a breath. Let go.

  1. These verses make me think of a vibrant butterfly emerging from a confining cocoon.
