Notes About The Poem

Fulfilling Life - Collaboration With White Wolf

An empty shell,
abandoned
am I left alone?
left to sigh?

I once housed
a caterpillar
an ambitious
butterfly

Now I miss
my old cocoon
and still
cannot fly

Come pick me up
soar the skies
create turbulence
with you 

Leaving behind
our worn-out lives
morphing into
something new

Lin Lane September 19, 2017 at 8:49 AM Becoming something or someone new is not an easy task, but then most worthwhile things in life are not handed to us. An honest and inspirational write from you two, Whites. Darren White September 20, 2017 at 7:29 AM No, it isn't easy at all. But it all starts with an internal 'attitude' that you very consciously address.
