The Violence of Interference

It takes patience and understanding

To simply watch the butterfly emerge

From the cocoon that confines.

Yet, protects and promotes

The possibility of being

A butterfly.

To not rush in,

Presuming certainty 

Of what should be.

To orchestrate the unfolding

Would be to mutilate

And kill the possibility

Of what could have been

The delicate flutter, of

A butterfly.
